Hi,
You'll need WMI for this. It will allow you to enumerate all removable
devices in the system and query their properties such as label, serial
number etc. If you want notification of when a drive is connected, WMI
should be able to handle that as well.
There is an excellent WMI plugin for the server explorer in VS.NET available
free on the MS website, it will assist in wiring up event code for WMI
classes.
Good luck!

Monitor WM_DEVICECHANGE messages and watch for the DBT_DEVICEARRIV AL and
DBT_DEVICEREMOV ECOMPLETE messages pertaining to your device. Also look at
RegisterDeviceN otification.
Also, check RegisterDeviceN otification in the Platform SDK: Device I/O.
Probably the best bet is, this book and these websites:

Hello,
I'm trying to find a way to detect whether CD-ROM was inserted into the

API?
TIA

I am writing a C# app that needs to periodically poll for cdroms and usb
storage device insertions. I've looked at the WMI functions but haven't
found anything all that useful. The closest is Win32_DiskDrive, but it
doesn't seem to return any information on cdrom devices. I suspect there
might be a Win32 API call, but I haven't found any info yet using Google. Is
there a way to achieve this in C#?

Hi All,
Apologies if this has come up before, but how can I set up something
that will notify me when a removeable drive (like a USB drive or
CompactFlash card) is inserted into its slot? Ideally I would like
some sort of event that would call my code when it happens. The
FileSystemWatcher object doesn't seem able to do this, unless I am
missing something.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm working on a C# windows service that should detect when a USB
drive is plugged in. After drive letter has been assigned, start using
that drive. On the other side, when user clicks on the eject button,
stop using the drive so that windows can safely remove the hardware.
Could someone let me know where to start? what libraries/namespaces
can be used?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
