How are devices identified uniquely?
Friends
I am working on a project which requires detection of USB devices.
For this i am using WMI and using the class Win32_USBHub.
This class returns many properties like Device_ID, DESCRIPTION, Name etc.
but i would like to know how windows actually identifies a device.
For eg :- pen drive, keyboards, mouse, digital cameras etc.
Description for Pen Drive and Digital Camera gives "Mass storage device" .
So i cannot use Description property
Problem with Device_ID is every pen drive has got different Device_ID.
I want something that will uniquley address a pen drive device irrespective of their device_id.
Please help...
(Note:- solution in WMI is preferable)
THANK YOU
