USB / HID communication

[Hubert Hermanutz]

Hello,

Where can i get a sample about HID communication with .NET Framework?

I don't know enough about HID communication, only that with VC++ it is
possible to using the Windows Device Development Kit. Exists for .NET
specifically namespaces or must i also use the DDK?

Thanks in advance,
Hubert

Hello Hubert,

The WinDDK is the best place to start. There is also a great book that
shows how to do HID in VB which can be easily adapted to C# called "USB
Complete" by Jan Axelson (ISBN 0965081958).

Hello Noah,

thanks for your contribution. I've a book from Jan Axelson about USB and the
VB example. But I've thought for .NET there gets a better way to implement
HID.

What do you think about the DirectInput-Interface from DirectX. Is this a
better way?

Regards,
Hubert
