      You have to open (using CreateFile) the driver that is associated with the device. Then you can use ReadFile and WriteFile to read or write data to the driver. But it depends also of the kind of device you are using. Can you provide more information ?

        Well, that depends on the driver for your specific device. If your device's USB driver acts like a serial-port then you need the ReadFile() and WriteFile() (just like in a serial port) Otherwise, you'll have to refer to the documentation/spec of your device ...

              No, because I don't have any information to give a piece of code. What device are you trying to communicate with ?
