The project is to write a function that given a drive letter (like D: or E:), will detect if the drive is a USB device and return the device description string. So for examaple, the function would take a drive letter like E:, and if E: is a USB storage device, will return a description like "Sony Memory Stick". ## Deliverables Important notes: - The code must be written in C++ or C# - The device description string is not the same as the drive's volume label. Only the device description is acceptable for this project. To demonstrate this, you can attach a USB device such as a USB Key Drive. Note the USB Key drive will show up automatically as a valid drive, and that you may edit the volume label. However even after editing the volume label, the device description will not change. The device description can be found as follows: - Run the Windows file Explorer - Right click on the drive, click the Hardware tab - A list a drive device descriptions will be shown HINT: I believe the Win32 API call SetupDiGetDeviceInterfaceDetail may be helpful but I'm not sure. This is just a possible starting place. 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased. ## Platform - The code must work on Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows ME.
