Welcome to the UsbDevices project

The purpose of this project is to create a C# class library that is able to enumerate all USB devices, hubs and controllers attached to local computer using Setup API and provide access to USB properties and events.

What's inside

UsbDevicesDotNet is a .NET class library that uses Setup API to enumerate all USB devices, hubs and controllers attached to local computer. It also provides easy access to USB properties and events.

UsbDevices is a simple command line program that demonstrates usage of UsbDevicesDotNet class library.

UsbDevicesViewer is a WPF UI application that shows all available USB devices, hubs and controllers, all their properties, USB events and a system USB devices tree. It also uses UsbDevicesDotNet class library.

Code example

UsbDevice[] usbDevices = UsbDevice.GetDevices(new Guid("A5DCBF10-6530-11D2-901F-00C04FB951ED"));

Console.WriteLine("{0} USB devices:\n", usbDevices.Length);

foreach (UsbDevice usbDevice in usbDevices)
{
    Console.WriteLine("{0}:{1} = VID_{2}&PID_{3} = {4}",
        usbDevice.Hub, usbDevice.Port, usbDevice.Vid, usbDevice.Pid, usbDevice.DeviceId);

    if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(usbDevice.BusReportedDeviceDescription))
    {
        Console.WriteLine("{0}", usbDevice.BusReportedDeviceDescription);
    }
}
