USB Communications using Visual Basic 2005

[bcd]

Now that I have the PBP and hardware side of my app running its time to start looking at the PC side.

I came across this link today (while googling for something else!) and thought it might be a useful for others as it seems EasyHID wants to produce code for VB5 or VB6, but I remember having issues trying to use this code in VB 2005.

It is based on the EasyHID code and some work Mister-E did. Amr Bekhit tidied it up and made some nice docs and the VB template, as well as hosting it on his site.

Good job fellas ! Installed it today and it works well.
Bill,

The whole idea started there

but yeah, as i no longer have any website, your link will be really handy for those dealing with new Visual Basic edition (2005, 2008) Express or not.

Thanks once again to Amr Bekhit for it's work on that.

Is there a problem with this link?http://www.helmpcb.com/Software/USBHIDVB/USBHIDVB.aspx
I keep getting redirected to :

Kinda hoping it is something I can utilize with C#

The link works for me using Firefox and IExplorer.

I had, and still have some plan to translate it to C# as it's my main PC programming language now (yeah C# really rocks), but for now, I really don't have any time to spend on it, no requirement either.

Hopefully, it's not going to be a tedious task.

I've attached the file here, so some could use it if they can get it from the official Website.

You could also have a look at Jan Axelson's website, she have some C# template... never tried them myself though....

Thanks Steve... I'm not quite a whiz yet with C#, but if I get into converting you're project to C#, I'll be sure to let you know. Nice to have you back!
