Hello Anushika,

Try the sample code found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb429007%28v=winembedded.11%29.aspx. In that code add following lines at the beginning of the for loop to print the logical names of the devices

foreach(string strlName : device.LogicalNames) {
Console.Write("Device Type : ");
Console.Write(Device.DeviceType);
Console.Write(", Logical Name : ");
Console.WriteLine(strlName);
}

Regards,
