USB and TCP/IP

[C# Programming]

I'd like to write a windows pc application that will be able to communicate with another device using TCP/IP via a USB connection. The PC application would be a client and the remote device the host. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to get started with this or to some articles to read? I don't really have any experience with network programming but I'm quite comfortable programming in C# otherwise. Is this going to be a major undertaking?

Thanks in advance
