The following link looks like a good place to start if you can use WMI. Volatile USB Serial Number Using C#.
You could implement a WMI soloution as this looks like it is pretty simple code and has been fairly extensivly tested. If you get a WMI error you could gracefully fall into another implementation using non WMI calls.
To get the serial number without using WMI I would recommend that you look at the microsoft scripting runtime. You can add this to your project references from the COM tab.
