Hardware Detection

[Exquisite]

Good day! Is it possible to detect hardware peripherals such as FLASH DRIVE, USB MOUSE, USB KEYBOARD ETC. using vb.net? Thanks in advance!

Detect as in what? Just see that they are connected? Then yes. They are all USB devices, so you would need to use an USB library. I posted one here .

If you mean enumerate them or provide functionality to them, then no, you need to use the respective APIs for them (storage, human interface, etc...).

If I insert a USB mouse the system will detect that a USB device was connected on a PC. BTW I'm doing Computer Laboratory Inventory and Management System for my thesis. One scenario, If I insert a USB mouse on the computer(CLIENT SIDE) then on the SERVER it will show that I insert a USB mouse on that PC and the date, time, the number of the computer where I insert the USB mouse will save on the DATABASE of the server. Sorry if I'm bad in English.
