    read-write to USB devices (e.g. GPS, other devices with USB.. etcc)

    Garmin has their own proprietary protocol, and are not HID devices. The code here is only for Human Interface Devices that have no driver loaded in Windows.

    Question VB6 ocx property to VB.Net problem

    Talk about irony... Fine, keep doing it wrong.

    Question VB6 ocx property to VB.Net problem

    No, it's an OCX, ergo an ActiveX component, a now defunct technology Microsoft developed as client side components downloadable through Internet Explorer. Edge doesn't even support them anymore. I'm not debating if it's working or not, I am telling you you should be using a native .NET component...

    Question VB6 ocx property to VB.Net problem

    You are using a control written in a dead language for another dead language. It's not made to work with .NET and it does purely by chance. No need for the aggression.

    Question VB6 ocx property to VB.Net problem

    You shouldn't really be using VB6 user controls in .NET... There isn't even really a valid reason to still be using VB6 code at all, really... If all you want is a gauge, use a .NET gauge control, or pretty much any charting control you can find...

    Answered MS License for Community editions

    How is "to sell" ambiguous? No reason to worry, Community Edition is 100% free for any team of 5 devs or less to use in a commercial, non-enterprise setting. An "enterprise" is any company with more than 250 PCs or users or over 1 million in annual revenue. Microsoft doesn't make a distinction...

    Question AES know what the IV is

    AES and Rijndael are the same thing, AES is just a subset of the other with standardized block and key sizes.

    Question AES know what the IV is

    Have a look here for a code example to illustrate how it works: AES Encryption of a string .

    Question AES know what the IV is

    It may not make much sense from the eyes of an outlooker, but it makes brute forcing the message if you don't have the key much more difficult, because it takes much more time to compute each password. It also protects hashing algorithms by preventing the use of "rainbow tables", where hashes...

    Question AES know what the IV is

    The IV in AES is a salt. Its purpose is to prevent the first block of data from being encrypted twice to the same output, because of a particularity of the algorithm. You often hear the term "salt" in hashing algorithms, but an IV is exactly the same thing, and has the same purpose, but in AES...

    Problem with visual studio licence

    This will happen every month if you don't log in to your VS account in VS once in a while. Visual Studio has to validate the license (even for free products, like Community) once a month. If you keep VS logged in, you shouldn't see this message anymore. Community is not a trial, it`s FREE.

    Question McAfee says this site is dangerous ?

    It doesn't matter what credibility they have with you, if you get blacklisted you gotta get it off blacklist because A) the list will propagate and then it's no longer just a McAfee problem, B) it lowers your ranking on the search engines and C) users may think it's actually real and thus stop...

    Question McAfee says this site is dangerous ?

    This is nothing new, McAfee has a tendency to false flag a LOT. We used to have all kinds of problems with them at my old company. You need to call them and get your site removed from the list. Better do it quickly because if it goes uncontested for too long they will share their lists with the...

    How to write a hardware driver emulator?

    I don't think you can achieve it in VB.NET easily. To write a driver in Windows you need the Windows Driver Kit, and you need to write it in C++, using COM interfaces all over. However if the software is free, or if you have a valid license for it (just proof of it, I don't need the actual...

    AES Encryption of a string

    I have posted this code previously, but here it is again with the nice new code formatting... The following will encrypt strings using AES-256 and encode the result to base64, and also take a base64 string, decode it and decrypt it. This uses a unique salt every encryption (a random GUID), and...

    Please can my account be deleted

    This is a forum, I have never seen any forum that deletes content at user's demand. You can delete your own posts (I think?), you can change your email address, you have all the tools you need to avoid spam to your main account all by yourself. Nothing is illegal here.

    Designer in high res.

    The problem is not the resolution, it's your DPI setting. Anything other than 100% in Winforms is a lost cause, Microsoft never got DPI scaling right... This is not an issue in WPF.

    Cannot get Progress Bar to Update while running tasks in WPF

    Ok, a couple of issues here... 1- Why is your viewmodel calling InitializeComponents? The ViewModel is NOT the form designer. The viewmodel is a separate class. Create a new class and call it MyViewModel.vb or something. This is what should be in it, and NOTHING ELSE: Imports...

    Yup! That's really all there is to it.
