please help me
this is the code.

Public Class Form1

Welcome to DaniWeb. It's ok to put your code directly into your post. Use the Code option in the edit window menu.

In addition to the code we also need the exact wording of the whole exception and the line in the code that triggered the exception.

Error:" Une exception de première chance de type 'System.BadImageFormatException' s'est produite dans USBTemplate21.exe" without line

@ tinstaafl, please i need your help when i connect the microcontroller to usb port i listent the sound of connection but the vb.net interface does not work. can you help me

Member Avatar for tinstaafl

The exception seems to be because the library you're using is incompatible with the visual studio you're using. You'll have to check the source of the library and see if there is a better version for you.

Here's the documentation on using usb devices with .net
