Hello Velleman Support Forum!
We use the VM8090 USB Relay board, but have discovered, that the “Velleman.Kits.dll” file is somewhat old. Our PCs are 64-bit, and we run Windows 7 or Windows 8. We compile Projects using Visual Studio 2010.
Is it possible to get a newer version of the “Velleman.Kits.dll” file - one that is compiled for .NET 4.0 and x64 processors? or - alternatively - get the source code for this dll, so that we can re-compile it ourselves?

A new .NET assembly file or the source code will not do you any good. The .NET assembly file is simply a wrapper for the functions exposed by K8090D.DLL, a 32-bit native dll. It contains a bare minimum of code.
You could use Visual Studio 2010 and set your project settings to x86.
If you really want 64-bit, I would recommend writing your own code using the new SerialPort class introduced in the latest versions of .NET. This did not exist at the time and would avoid having to use native unmanaged code.
