Can class SerialPort handle also USB devices?
Anyone know any samples.

Not directly. Only if you have an usb driver which installs a virtual com
port. And to this com port you have acces to.

Not directly, but it's possible to talk to USB devices from C# with a little
bit of interop.
This open source project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/usbwisec/ has got
some code that does USB communication in C# which you could use.

Some USB devices have a virtual COM port driver, and those work fine
with the SerialPort class. This is definitely not true of bulk storage
devices, though. It would take forever to download an MP3 song, or
copy a file to a USB key using a serial port driver.
