Life would be easy if you had an interface/DLL from the vendors but looks like you want a generic way since you would be communicating with devices from different vendors<br />
<br />
Try to see if this helps<br />

A quick look on the net lead to this...<br />

Looks like this is also based on the previous article but it might be easier to use from C# if the code here is a DLL or something...<br />

Thanks arif_eqbal, i'd seen both of those links but can't get very far with either.<br />
<br />
You're right in that i'd like a generic way.<br />
<br />
I think something like parsing the output of Windows' lsusb equivalent will be the answer, but it's not very elegant.<br />

Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
I have two USB modems from different manufacturers, i want my c# script to determine whether it's a Zyxel or a Thomson.<br />
<br />
Does anyone have code samples, links or examples that show how c# can retrieve vendor and device id?<br />
<br />
Having a look around i'm not even sure it's possible in dotnet without hardware or a USB bus API or somesuch.<br />
<br />
Many thanks,<br />
<br />
Jon

check if vendor_id / device_id exists,

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
