I think the USB port can use the serial port to communicate... i'm actually working on a project today that is using a USB connection but I haven't gotten around to looking at the comms yet but the vendor's sample code uses the serialport.

Look at the System.IO.Ports namespace for SerialPort . You can get the serial port names by calling SerialPort.GetPortNames(); and the help file has a lot of examples on how to communicate

[edit]Don't quote me on this but i'm pretty sure :)[/edit]

Honestly I would look online for sample code with this subject. I don't think books would delve deeply in to a subject like this.
