Don't forget to share your experience with us. I am also curious to know how Microsoft POS API works.
Good luck.

Unfortunately C# or .NET does not have anyu built-in support for hardwares like cash drawer. You will have to integrate your COM API comes with the drivers for the cash drawer. What you actually do is, treat your cash drawer as a hardware device and communicate through your port - Serial or Parallel.
Here is a library from Microsoft for POS:
