[VB.NET] USB HID Interface?

[Linkinfamous]

I'm trying to come up a vb.net way that doesn't involve using a control to communicate with a USB HID device. I've been trying to pick away at a sample, called usbhidio, but it wasn't designed for the particulal chip I'm trying to communicate with (A PIC 16C7x5)

Anyone have an ideas?

Microchip has a control called HIDCOMM, but It really hates VB.NET. Apparently, I have to create it in VB6, then upgrade it to vb.net, because it has to do this:

Me.HIDComm1.OcxState = CType(resources.GetObject("HIDComm1.OcxState"), System.Windows.Forms.AxHost.State)

I can't access most of the properties for HIDComm1 from vb.net, because they are readonly, because the control wasn't meant for vb.net.

Annnnyway, here's a link to usbhidio, but it wasn't meant to communicate with a PIC16C745.

Nevermind..

After an additional 2 hours of ripping my hair out, and mutilating that poor program, I managed to create a nice, neat little class library that does the trick.
