You need the USB HID component - here's a tutorial with source code:

In case you have the drive letter you can simply use File.ReadAllText/File.ReadAllLines/File.ReadAllBytes function.

Otherwise, look into getting USB device letter via: How to find USB drive letter?.

Please be more specific on what 'data' refers to in your question to allow me providing you with additional info.

I have a question, what if I just wanted the file with a specific extension. E.g. on the CD-ROM drive, there's only one CSV file that I wanted to read. How do I get the path of that file from the CD-ROM drive? – Kala J Jul 08 '14 at 14:27
