Hello All,

I am wanting to list all the port like when you go to
printers--> right click properties--> then pick the Port
tab. And you will see a list of available ports. How do I
list these and any info related to each port? I am writing
in C# , so I would greatly appreciate a small example in
C#.

Thank You in Advance for Your Help,
Ken

Sorry, I don't have a C# sample, but this VB Classic sample will point
you in the right direction:

Hi Ken,
You may call the Windows API EnumPorts to get the available ports.
However, I'd like to say it is not easy to invoke this API because it
returns a variable-length structure array,
Here is a FAQ written by our MVP , I think it will be helpful to you.
And if it is possible, I think creating a wrapper class using managed c++
for this api maybe better.
Please be free to let me know if you have problem to do this.
Thanks!

And if it is possible, in my opnion, creating a wrapper class in managed
