C++ Programming :: Connecting to USB: c++ code


	Connecting to USB: c++ code Hi! I wish to send and receive data to usb port through c# code. Upon searching, I found out that c# only has support for SerialPort in System.IO.Ports and no support for usb. For that I will have to use c++ wrapper classes. Please don't tell me use a serial-to-usb convertor coz there are some hardware issues that I have with the GSM modem. 1. But I can't find any good resource or c++ code, through which i can do that? Can u tell me the links. 2. What is meant by COM1, COM2 and so on? Can somebody educate me on that? Are these terms only used for serial ports or usb ports?

Best, Pasalic Zaharije I guess it does because i need the code to connect to usb for c++. I need the wrapper classes so i can use them in c#. weird0 schrieb: > I guess it does because i need the code to connect to usb for c++. I > need the wrapper classes so i can use them in c#. The _language_ C++ doesn't have any way to "connect to usb", so your question is offtopic in this group. When doing communication with COM-ports or USB, you use platform specific libraries like the WinAPI. So your question belongs to a Windows platform newsgroup.
