In short, you probably can't. This would normally require writing a device
driver, which currently can only be written in a language compiling to
native code, since the Common Language Runtime operates only in the
application layer.

The only way to do this is by using the Device Driver Kit, you can obtain
the DDK from:
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/ddk/default.mspx
this DDK contains a bunch of samples and is fairly well documented, but I
doubt you will be able to start driver development only by reading the
docs......
