		    /* 
		    Before we can "connect" our application to our USB embedded device, we must first find the device.
		    USB can have many devices simultaneously connected, so somehow we have to find our device only.
		    This is done with the Vendor ID (VID) and Product ID (PID).  Each USB product line should have
		    a unique combination of VID and PID.  

		    Microsoft has created a number of functions which are useful for finding plug and play devices.  Documentation
		    for each function used can be found in the MSDN library.  We will be using the following functions (unmanaged C functions):

		    SetupDiGetClassDevs()					//provided by setupapi.dll, which comes with Windows
		    SetupDiEnumDeviceInterfaces()			//provided by setupapi.dll, which comes with Windows
		    GetLastError()							//provided by kernel32.dll, which comes with Windows
		    SetupDiDestroyDeviceInfoList()			//provided by setupapi.dll, which comes with Windows
		    SetupDiGetDeviceInterfaceDetail()		//provided by setupapi.dll, which comes with Windows
		    SetupDiGetDeviceRegistryProperty()		//provided by setupapi.dll, which comes with Windows
		    CreateFile()							//provided by kernel32.dll, which comes with Windows

            In order to call these unmanaged functions, the Marshal class is very useful.
             
		    We will also be using the following unusual data types and structures.  Documentation can also be found in
		    the MSDN library:

		    PSP_DEVICE_INTERFACE_DATA
		    PSP_DEVICE_INTERFACE_DETAIL_DATA
		    SP_DEVINFO_DATA
		    HDEVINFO
		    HANDLE
		    GUID

		    The ultimate objective of the following code is to get the device path, which will be used elsewhere for getting
		    read and write handles to the USB device.  Once the read/write handles are opened, only then can this
		    PC application begin reading/writing to the USB device using the WriteFile() and ReadFile() functions.

		    Getting the device path is a multi-step round about process, which requires calling several of the
		    SetupDixxx() functions provided by setupapi.dll.
