- monitor usb devices used on a computer system
- disabling & enabling usb ports
Hi abhijit,
Here are some tutorials:
1. An article on detecting insertion and removal of removable USB drives in C#
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/DriveDetector.aspx
C# and VB.Net are essentially identical. Here are two helpful conversion tools:
1) Instant VB: C# to VB converter
The tool can convert entire C# project to corresponding VB.NET project, also can convert code snippet.
2) Convert C# code to VB.NET code by means of this Code Translator tool.

2. You can disable/enable the USB storage devices via modifying Registry. (For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it.)
