VS 2008 Program Autorun When Removable Device Is Connected?

May 18, 2010

I'm not sure if this would be this right place to post this, or even if I should go about trying to do it through my program itself or through the computer's settings on the final EXE file, but anyways, here goes.

I have a synchronization program that syncs my flashdrive to my home computer and (hopefully) my flashdrive to my personal folder on the school computers. What I think would be easiest, though, would be if the program was located on the flashdrive, and would simply "autorun" when I plug it in, instead of having 2 separate instances of the sync program running at school and at home.

Would it be easier (or possible) to code for that from within the program, or with the EXE file's settings?

Detect When A New Usb-device Is Connected?

Mar 27, 2009

I want to detect when a new usb-device (can be anything) is connected to the computer. I don't need to know what kind of device it is, I just want to know when it is plugged in.

I found this thread: [URL]

I know the solution is in here, but I'm overlooking it I'm afraid. What I want:

USB-device connected > Run function. USB-device disconnected > Run another function.

Access A Connected Zune Device?

Aug 10, 2010

I was just wondering if you could view the items on a connected Zune device (such as the Zune HD or any of the others. (4GB, etc.))Also, possibly listen to the songs / watch the videos on it with the Windows Media Player codec in the program, and view the pictures in a PictureBox? Is this possible at all? Can I at least view the items? Or is this strictly forbidden?

Send Command To Device Connected To COM1?

Feb 3, 2012

I want to send a simple command, such as "v20" followed by a carriage control character, to a heating/cooling block connected to a desktop computer running Windows XP. I am able to get the commands to work within a terminal emulator. I want to compile a simple program that will be executed by software used to control a liquid handling robot.I've looked at the how to send strings to serial ports in visual basic page and modified that code ever so slightly to send the data that I want. However, it does not work and my heating/cooling block is not changing temperatures.

Here's what I have written:

Sub SendSerialData(ByVal data As String)
data = "n65"
' Send strings to a serial port.

C# - Find Through Which Network Device User Is Connected To Internet?

Apr 1, 2011

Using the code below i will get all network interfaces wich are enabled and functional on the machine.

Private netIntrfc As NetworkInterface() = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces()
For i As Integer = 0 To netIntrfc.Length - 1
If netIntrfc(i).OperationalStatus = OperationalStatus.Up Then

[code]....

But my problem is how to get the default one, the one(ethernet adapter) through wich user is connected to internet?I need to change some settings of default(through wich user is connected to internet) adapter. settings i change through registry so i could sample add same settings for each network interface but that could cause problems and makes no point then?

EDITED:for now i have done like code below, so if this can help someone other...

Dim u As UdpClient = New UdpClient(System.Net.Dns.GetHostName, 1)
Dim localAddr As IPAddress = CType(u.Client.LocalEndPoint, IPEndPoint).Address
Private netIntrfc As NetworkInterface() = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces()

SerialPort Escape String - Retrieving Data From A Device Connected To A Virtual Com-port

Aug 13, 2010

I am writing a small app that is retrieving data from a device connected to a virtual com-port. I connect without problems to the device using the settings 9600-8-N-1.

I need to send the command <esc>MS , the device then sends back the data to a computer. I have tried this using Hyperterminal with success. I also did this with Excel and VBA. I used the MSComm32 Active X control:

MSComm1.Output = Chr$(27) + "M" + "S" + Chr$(13)

Msgbox(MSComm1.Input)

This made the data from the device pop up in a messagebox. I am writing a winforms app in vb.net, using VS2005. I have a form, on which I have a Placed a SerialPort control, named sp. My sample code is as follows:

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal
sender As System.Object,
ByVal e

[CODE]...

This returns the error message "Error: expecting a command". I have done som tests in HyperTerminal, and have concluded with:

-If I dont send <esc>, I get error "Expecting a command"

-If I send wrong command (ie MD instead of MS) i get error "Bad command"

Based on this, I suspect that I don't pass the escape character correctly to my device. So I wonder how to do this?

On my program I am trying to make a ToolStripStatusLabel's text change to "connected" if connected to a network and if not connected to a network change the text to " Not Connected" then I don't know how to display a image if connected to a network or not connected. So if the computer is connected to a network I have a image that I would like to be displayed next to the ToolStripStatusLabel. And if not connected to a network, can the program display a different image? I tried this:

My.Computer.Network.IsAvailable=True(ToolStripStatusLabel2.Text "Connected")
My.Computer.Network.IsAvailable=False(ToolStripStatusLabel2.Text "Not Connected")

Modify A Program To Control A Usb Relay Device

Mar 30, 2010

We are trying to modify a program to control a usb relay device. Essentially what the program originally does is give you a series of check boxes that you check to make the relay fire. We tried to modify the code so that the box is checked after 5 seconds using a counter and an if statement. It works, but only partially, what happens is the check box shows a check, but the even that is normally triggered does not happen. [code]

MC75 Using Symbol.imaging.device Libraries For Program?

Jan 7, 2010

I have a .net application running on a symbol mc75 (motorola) using the scanner. I am now trying to add functionality for the camera and I am running into issues.

To find the 'devices' you are supposed to use the library's 'available devices' function.

With the barcode it is symbol.barcode.devices.availabledevices and it returns two items (you can scan from the scanner or using the camera device) However, when I do the camera library it does not find any devices - symbol.imaging.devices.availabledevices returns 0

I can take a picture using the software on the mc75, so I know the functionality is there, I just can't figure out how to get to it programmatically..
