Installation

To install this library, clone the repository and build the solution using Visual Studio.

Usage

Create a new instance of the USBDevicesList class:

public USBDevicesList USBDevicesCollection { get; set; }

USBDevicesCollection = new USBDevicesList();

Enable or disable connection and disconnection events as needed:

USBDevicesCollection.ConnectedEventStatus = false;
USBDevicesCollection.DisconnectedEventStatus = true;

Enable device filtering and set filters:

USBDevicesCollection.EnableFilterDevice();
USBDevicesCollection.FilterDeviceStatus = true;
USBDevicesCollection.SetDeviceToFilter("xxxx", "yyyy", "Service Name");

Add event handlers for initial collection completion and device changes:

USBDevicesCollection.InitialCollectionsComplete += USBDevicesCollections_InitialCollectionsComplete;
USBDevicesCollection.DeviceChanged += USBDevicesCollections_DeviceChanged;

Start monitoring USB devices:

USBDevicesCollection.Start();

Access the list of USB devices:

ObservableCollection<USBDevice> devices = USBDevicesCollection.USBDevices;

Examples

This library includes two example projects:

USBDevicesDemo: A simple WPF application to view properties of connected USB devices.
CopyFilesToFlash: A WPF MVVM application that automatically copies files to a USB flash drive.
