This is not my code. It is completely taken from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7704 ... ia-c-sharp. I just converted it.

If the listbox is empty, you have no devices you can eject. Else, select an item and click the button. You can see the results if you have explorer open.

Hey MrAksel

My version of VB is incompatable with the Source you uploaded :(

Can you convert it to VB 10 OR 11 ?

Open the folder USB Devices and open the following file: USB Devices.vbproj
(Not the .sln file)

Try this: http://speedy.sh/Ph3Cn/3.5-Version.zip
I thought the 2008 version is same as 2010 one, since in 2010 it asks you if you want to retarget for .NET 4.0

Im sorry. I forget that VS 11 defaults to .NET 4.5. You should be able to open the .vb files though and add it to another project. You could add the USBEject.vb file to any solution, then use this to eject a device:

Code: Select all

Dim eject As New USBEject("F:\") 'No matter if you enter F:\, F: or just F"
If Not eject.Eject() Then MessageBox.Show("Something failed")

Click the link and then click the "3.5 Version.zip" link.

Here is a mirror if for some reason that website doesn't load: http://www.mediafire.com/?3vce2vpov27ysk4

Hey

Ok it worked of sorts ;)

If i have a USB Stick attached, it will recognise it

If i select my drive letter in the list and click the button, the USB stick blinks.

iF I exit and restart it's not visible in the list

But

The Icon on the Taskbar is still showing and I still have to eject it manually by clicking the icon and doing it the normal way.......So having done it once with the program, I have to do it again...

Is there any way to just do it once and close the Icon on the taskbar at the same time??
