How might I receive notifications when a USB device is connected?

I'm writing a program to monitor a specific device. This device may or may not always be connected, and when connected may be connected to any one of several different ports; I'd like my program to handle this gracefully.

Is there a way to receive notifications when a specific USB device is connected, and from there to determine which port it is connected to?

• To get an information if any hardware device has changed you can add the following code to your main form:

  /// <summary>
  /// Windows Messages
  /// Defined in winuser.h from Windows SDK v6.1
  /// Documentation pulled from MSDN.
  /// For more look at: http://www.pinvoke.net/default.aspx/Enums/WindowsMessages.html
  /// </summary>
  public enum WM : uint
  {
   /// <summary>
   /// Notifies an application of a change to the hardware configuration of a device or the computer.
   /// </summary>
   DEVICECHANGE = 0x0219,
  }
  
  protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
  {
   switch ((WM)m.Msg)
   {
    case WM.DEVICECHANGE:
     //ToDo: put your code here.
     break;
   }
   base.WndProc(ref m);
  }
