FIXED WITH: if (m.LParam != null) { // All code in } I have the following script detecting the insertion and removal of a USB flash drive, i tested the program outside of visual studio and it gave me a nulreference exeption error, System.NullReferenceException: the object reference not set to an instance of an object.
The line the error gave me was
DEV_BROADCAST_VOLUME vol = (DEV_BROADCAST_VOLUME)Marshal.PtrToStructure(m.LParam, typeof(DEV_BROADCAST_VOLUME));
and the entire part of code is:
protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
{
if (m.Msg == WM_DEVICECHANGE)
{
DEV_BROADCAST_VOLUME vol = (DEV_BROADCAST_VOLUME)Marshal.PtrToStructure(m.LParam, typeof(DEV_BROADCAST_VOLUME));
if ((m.WParam.ToInt32() == DBT_DEVICEARRIVAL) && (vol.dbcv_devicetype == DBT_DEVTYPVOLUME))
{
// MessageBox.Show(DriveMaskToLetter(vol.dbcv_unitmask).ToString());
notifyIcon1.BalloonTipText = "USB Drive with letter: " + DriveMaskToLetter(vol.dbcv_unitmask).ToString() + "Detected and will now copy. Press" + "insertuserselectedhotkeyasastringhere" + " To cancel";
notifyIcon1.BalloonTipIcon = ToolTipIcon.Info;
notifyIcon1.BalloonTipTitle = "USBAutoSave";
notifyIcon1.ShowBalloonTip(3000);
}
if ((m.WParam.ToInt32() == DBT_DEVICEREMOVALCOMPLETE) && (vol.dbcv_devicetype == DBT_DEVTYPVOLUME))
{
MessageBox.Show("usb out");
}
}
base.WndProc(ref m);
}
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] //Same layout in mem
public struct DEV_BROADCAST_VOLUME
{
public int dbcv_size;
public int dbcv_devicetype;

public int dbcv_unitmask;
}
private static char DriveMaskToLetter(int mask)
{
char letter;
string drives = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"; //1 = A, 2 = B, 3 = C
int cnt = 0;
int pom = mask / 2;
while (pom != 0) // while there is any bit set in the mask shift it right
{
pom = pom / 2;
cnt++;
}
if (cnt < drives.Length)
letter = drives[cnt];
else
letter = '?';
return letter;
}
