[=?Utf-8?B?R29hbWFu?=]

Hi,

I am new to VB.Net and would like to write a program that communicates with
and device via USB port. Is there a sample code that show me that?

I tried searching in the web but could not find anything useful.

Thanks and please help!

Hello


As the S in USB stands for Serial you can just use anny example that
comunicates to a serial port
like the one below

Have you tried working with USB using standard Serial I/O?... fwiw, the "B"
in USB stands for BUS, not PORT, so that code's not going to do much good...

There are several Serial to USB converters out there. With one of /those/
plugged in, that code might work.

Ken ,

AFAIK Many USB devices simply emulate COM ports so in that case the
provided code should work
but for the case it doesn`t respond
