Read endpoint descriptor using control transfer

[lcpoon]

I am not sure if I setuppacket information is correct or not:

        Public Function GetEndpointDescriptor_new() As String
            Dim setuppacket As WINUSB_SETUP_PACKET
            Dim buffer As Byte() = New Byte(255) {}
            Dim transfered As UInteger
            Dim success As Boolean

            setuppacket.RequestType = CByte(Hex2Dec("80"))
            setuppacket.Request = 6
            setuppacket.Value = CUShort(CInt(Hex2Dec("500")))
            setuppacket.Index = CUShort(0)
            setuppacket.Length = CUShort(7)
            success = WinUsb_ControlTransfer(myDevInfo.winUsbHandle, setuppacket, buffer, CUInt(buffer.Length), transfered, IntPtr.Zero)

*Hex2Dec = Long.Parse(junk, Globalization.NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier)

My device endpoint descriptor information:

Most bulk endpoints set bInterval = 0.

wMaxPacketSize = 0x200 assumes high speed or higher.

What problem are you seeing?

success = WinUsb_ControlTransfer(myDevInfo.winUsbHandle, setuppacket, buffer, CUInt(buffer.Length), transfered, IntPtr.Zero) failed to read the data at all.

What error message did the API call return?

Use a protocol analyzer or whatever debugging tools you have to find out if the device received the setup packet and if firmware detected the request, placed the requested data in the endpoint's buffer, and armed the endpoint to return the data in the request's Data stage.

Found the answer where I have to use this:

            setuppacket.RequestType = CByte(Hex2Dec("80"))
            setuppacket.Request = 6
            setuppacket.Value = CUShort(CInt(Hex2Dec("200")))
            setuppacket.Index = CUShort(0)
            setuppacket.Length = CUShort(255)
            success = WinUsb_ControlTransfer(myDevInfo.winUsbHandle, setuppacket, buffer, CUInt(buffer.Length), transfered, IntPtr.Zero)

From USB 2.0: A request for a configuration descriptor returns the configuration descriptor, all interface descriptors, and endpoint descriptors for all of the interfaces in a single request.

Glad you got it working. Thanks for reporting what you found.
