Hi,

Anyone know a way of working out the total number and which COM ports exist
on a machine, using C#?

rollasoc,

Using the classes in the System.Management namespace, I would do a query
for all instances of Win32_SerialPort. This will return the information
about the port, as well as the number of ports on the system.

Hope this helps.
 
Thank you Nicholas.
