Portable Device Detection

Question

I need a functionality in my program (written in VB.NET) that detects whether the USB Portable Device (Windows CE 5.0) is inserted or removed. I have found a VB.NET code from the internet but it only works with USB Storage Devices... I only found codes and sample programs (written in C++) that does this USB Portable Device detection, but I can't understand the logic/program flow so I can't convert it to VB.NET

Here are the VB.NET codes that detects USB Storage Devices (lacks detection for USB Portable Devices):

Public Class Form1

    Private WM_DEVICECHANGE As Integer = &H219

    Public Enum WM_DEVICECHANGE_WPPARAMS As Integer
        DBT_CONFIGCHANGECANCELED = &H19
        DBT_CONFIGCHANGED = &H18
        DBT_CUSTOMEVENT = &H8006
        DBT_DEVICEARRIVAL = &H8000
        DBT_DEVICEQUERYREMOVE = &H8001
        DBT_DEVICEQUERYREMOVEFAILED = &H8002
        DBT_DEVICEREMOVECOMPLETE = &H8004
        DBT_DEVICEREMOVEPENDING = &H8003
        DBT_DEVICETYPESPECIFIC = &H8005
        DBT_DEVNODES_CHANGED = &H7
        DBT_QUERYCHANGECONFIG = &H17
        DBT_USERDEFINED = &HFFFF
    End Enum

    Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message)
        If m.Msg = WM_DEVICECHANGE Then
            Select Case m.WParam
                Case WM_DEVICECHANGE_WPPARAMS.DBT_DEVICEARRIVAL
                    lblMessage.Text = "USB Inserted"
                Case WM_DEVICECHANGE_WPPARAMS.DBT_DEVICEREMOVECOMPLETE
                    lblMessage.Text = "USB Removed"
                End Select
        End If
        MyBase.WndProc(m)
    End Sub
End Class

What must I add to this code so it could detect Windows USB Portable Devices as well? I need the codes to be in VB.Net...

BTW, Using the program written in C++, it says that my USB Portable Device has the following Properties:

VID - 045E
PID - 00CE

Thanks for helping out! :)
