VB.NET How can I detect if an iPhone is plugged in? - iphone

Question

I need to detect if an iPhone is plugged in. I don't know how to make that in VB.NET. I tried to play around with WMI but I'm just a beginner.
Can everyone help me?
I tried this but it only detects Mass Storage
Public Class Form1
Private WithEvents m_MediaConnectWatcher As ManagementEventWatcher
Public USBDriveName As String
Public USBDriveLetter As String
Public Sub StartDetection()
' __InstanceOperationEvent will trap both Creation and Deletion of class instances
Dim query2 As New WqlEventQuery("SELECT * FROM __InstanceOperationEvent WITHIN 1 " _
& "WHERE TargetInstance ISA 'Win32_DiskDrive'")
m_MediaConnectWatcher = New ManagementEventWatcher
m_MediaConnectWatcher.Query = query2
m_MediaConnectWatcher.Start()
End Sub
Private Sub Arrived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Management.EventArrivedEventArgs) Handles m_MediaConnectWatcher.EventArrived
Dim mbo, obj As ManagementBaseObject
' the first thing we have to do is figure out if this is a creation or deletion event
mbo = CType(e.NewEvent, ManagementBaseObject)
' next we need a copy of the instance that was either created or deleted
obj = CType(mbo("TargetInstance"), ManagementBaseObject)
Select Case mbo.ClassPath.ClassName
Case "__InstanceCreationEvent"
If obj("InterfaceType") = "USB" Then
MsgBox(obj("Caption") & " (Drive letter " & GetDriveLetterFromDisk(obj("Name")) & ") has been plugged in")
Else
MsgBox(obj("InterfaceType"))
End If
Case "__InstanceDeletionEvent"
If obj("InterfaceType") = "USB" Then
MsgBox(obj("Caption") & " has been unplugged")
If obj("Caption") = USBDriveName Then
USBDriveLetter = ""
USBDriveName = ""
End If
Else
MsgBox(obj("InterfaceType"))
End If
