Detected android device connected to PC

I have an android device, I wish to know when it is connected to the PC via Java/.NET.
I know it's possible - the Samsung New PC Studio is doing it. Whenever I connect an android device it lets me know. how can I achieve the same?

You have to listen for one of this notifications

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html

If you're using it as a mass storage device then use this

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#ACTION_UMS_CONNECTED

Other USB events aren't clearly described in the documentation

EDIT: If you want to read on the computer side I would read this article

http://today.java.net/article/2006/07/05/java-and-usb

and then check which kind of devices are connected to the usb port. if it is a mobile phone, then you can try to send a short message to it. on your phone you make a small piece of code which returns an appropriate answer so you can detect thats its really android/your phone/this phones you want to identify
