How can I get details on NON-HID USB Devices? Like the serial number, etc in c#?
I have created successfully a sample application to retrieve those information on HID only devices but not on NON-HID USB Devices.
A:
Have you looked into LibUSB .Net?
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusbdotnet/
I remmber seeing that this was possible, I'll try and dig the article out.

There is a port of libusb to Windows, which is likely where the OP is working based on the tag C#.

@RBertieg, hence LibUsb.net? (DotNet being c#?) Did I miss somthing?

A:
You want to retrieve the device descriptors. Assuming a driver has been bound to the device, some of these are already available as they can be seen from Device Manager.
For lots of good background on USB, see Jan's site here. Jan is the author of USB Complete, a book I'd strongly recommend to anyone attempting to work with unusual or custom USB devices.
