View 2 RepliesI was trying to play a bit with bluetooth devices but i can't find that much info about it. I'd like to build some sort of program that allowed me to send messages into bluetooth enabled cellphones. The idea was to send messages with tasks/events inside the building. This software would be part of other software such as ERPs or agendas.
View 4 Repliesi am trying to enumerate all IPs on my local network, but i am not having any luck. The only thing i have came up with so far is a really tedius "get my own ip and scan the subnet with pings" which surely isn't the best way? I am really only trying to get the ip of a tivo box, and i can determine it's a tivo by mac address or name. My router lists the "computer name" of the tivos as a long string of numbers with the prefix "tivo".What about broadcasting a ping packet? I could also attempt to connect with telnet to port 31339 on every one of them.

ListBox4.Items.Clear()
For Each Drive As IO.DriveInfo In IO.DriveInfo.GetDrives

I would like when a button (lets say buttontest) is pressed it will show all files of a CD (only MP3) into ListBox5, then when buttontest2 is pressed the files in ListBox 6 will be copied from the CD to the selected USB device?
I am trying to add the ability to select a camera to my program to start with I need to list the currently installed devices in a drop down menu much like what is used in MSN's webcam selection but the only thing that I can find that comes close is

ByVal lpszName As String, ByVal cbName As Integer, ByVal lpszVer As String, _
ByVal cbVer As Integer) As Boolean

View 1 RepliesI'm writing a media management tool and want to add support for MTP based devices.I've been reading through the SDK docs and with the help of some C# examples have managed to make a start on getting some VB code working.
I've come across a few anomolies that I hope someone can help me with!In the examples IPortableDeviceManager.GetDevice appears in C# to receive a string array. But in VB.NET it appears to only receive a string. I have a similar issue with IPortableDeviceManager.GetDeviceFriendlyName which according to the C# samples appears to receive a char array, whereas in VB.NET it is accepting a UShort.

View 3 RepliesAll I was able to figure out is a decleration for GetRawInputDeviceList which atm isn't working for me, I tried passing lots of different values in to get something to work, i've got outputs of -1, 0, and 1 from it but I use a mouse/keyboard & also have a controller hooked up...I also am not retrieving any information on what type of device(s) that might be hooked up/detected.The deceleration types & the like may be off but I translated from C++ code.
Declare Function GetRawInputDeviceList Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal pRawInputDeviceList As IntPtr, ByRef puiNumDevices As Int32, ByVal cbSize As Int32) As Int32

Please do not send code in any script language or C#. Also to get the device information.

View 3 RepliesBeen a long time since my last thread but here we go.I'm using VS.NET 2010 Prof Beta at the moment and I'm trying to list all Nic Cards and their settings into a text box. I succeeded with a script from the web (which had an error in the first place) and some adjustments to it.
It lists all hidden devices too (as to be shown in Device manager: Show hidden devices) I worked my way around it and let it jump to next if it doesn't have a IP address, but I find this a bit clumsy and want to really skip them if they are hidden and not just the way I did this now.
Plus it still does show the same NiC (different name, same MAC#) in the list because it has an IP, but in Device manager this one is hidden.[code...]
I am trying to get the names of the USB devices attached to a computer. I saw system.management would do what I need, but. It says its not defined and I cannot find system.management as a refrence.

An old IPAQ Pocket PC that runs Windows Mobile 4.2
A Mini-ITX PC Running XP
My IPAQ connects to my network via wireless. My Mini-ITX PC is going to have an IR-Blaster setup which is going to control all my devices. What I would like to do is create a small controller program that runs on my IPAQ and a back end program on my Mini-ITX PC, so that when a particular control is selected on my IPAQ it sends the signal to my program on the Mini-ITX PC which inturns sends the correct IR signal to the device in question.

View 3 RepliesIf I have two apps which I have written with vb 2008 for windows 6 device lets say app1 and app2. App1 is running but then needs to start app2 - then app2 needs to shut down app1 and do some updating of app1 then app2 needs to restart app1 and app2 then needs to be shutdown. I am aware of the systemdiagnostics.process classes. One thing I don't understand is how to shutdown app1 from app2 how would get that processid of app1 due to the fact that you havn't access to getproccessbyname methods.
View 3 RepliesWe are currently polling data from devices and sharing these data using shared memory. So other applications can get the data off from the memory mapped files.
Now we are moving on to web and we are still using the same method of using asp.net to read data off the memory files.
Would like to find out if there are better methods of doing this?
I am looking at adding in some bluetooth functionality to my vb.net application. I require it to couple with a specified mobile phone (that is found by the app) than to be able to retrieve contact information, phone calls (made and recevied) and images from the phone.
Can anyone tell me what my best approach will be for this? If there are any good third party solutions that will do it? If it is actually doable? Im thinking that it should because im basically mimic'ing what all the new fancy cars do with their bluetooth phone compatibility.
