These days, many devices connect to the computer using USB interface.
For example, my MP3 player and printer is connected through USB. I
searched for 'USB' in the Object Browser but there was virtually no
result. I could find only System.IO.Port and it didn't seem to related
to USB. I want to get notifed when a USB mass storage device is
connected. Is there any .NET support for this kind of operations or
should I look for those tricky Windows APIs?
2  2028 
To be more specific, I don't need those low-level I/O operations. All I
want to do is,
1. To get notified when a USB mass storage gets connected and
disconnected.
Which works as a removable disk on Windows.
2. To detect the type of that USB mass storage.
Many different kinds of devices work as USB mass storage, such as
camaras, mp3 players. So I need to figure out whether it is a camara,
mp3 or so on.
I can copy files using normal .NET IO methods.

Hi,
AFAIK, there are no built in classes for accessing USB devices (But there is
a new SerialPort class).
These might help: http://msdn.microsoft.com/coding4fun...u/default.aspx http://msmvps.com/blogs/coad/archive/2005/03.aspx

Hey all,
Does anyone know if all the newer browsers support XHTML? My main target is
IE6/NN6+(firefox/mozilla/etc), but I'd like to know if Safari, Opera,
Konqueror, and other browsers also support it.
Anyone know of any major compatibility problems with XHTML?
How do older browsers, such as Netscape 4, react to the doctype?
TIA

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
