Ports

Does C# have any classes or methods for transfering data
through serial and parellel ports?
I know that no hardware can be accessed directly in
windows XP and other NT based OS, but I think, it may be
possible to use windows too access ports
Does any body have any information please?

As of right now rs232 support is lacking in .net however you can find a good
article here on how to create a serial communications class using P/Invoke
and com interop.

Hi, I'm writing something that specifies the use of SOAP. One requirement that fumbles me is the port number(s) to use. Is there any way to find out which ports are not used by the system? I've looked in the library reference and doesn't seems to get anything. Is there a problem with say 2 programs using the same ports? Thanks in advance.

Hi, We are using an application (the application uses WMI componenets) to change the IIS metabase of Server A from Server B. There is a firewall between Server A and Server B. Couple of weeks back we tested the application and it worked fine with ports 135 and 1331 open. Now its not working any more and we are seeing that it is not working because ports 137 and 4332 are closed. (Please note that it did not require ports 137 and 4332...

Where do I find information on how to address and pass data to and from the serial ports and USB ports in VB. VB6 supports the serial ports easily but I see no reference to using the USB ports. VB.net literature does not provide any coverage on either the serial ports or the USB ports.

Hey people, I've written a python app that r/w eight serial ports to control eight devices using eight threads. This all works very nicely in Linux. I even put a GUI on it using PyQt4. Still works nicely. Then I put the app on on a virtual Windows machine running inside of vmware on the same Linux box. Vmware only lets me have four serial ports so I run the app against four serial ports using four threads. The app did not respond...

I'm trying to send some printer commands (ZPLII) to an attached USB printer using the SerialPort component. I didn't get very far at all. In fact I haven't gotten anywhere. The first problem I encountered is that a call to SerialPort.GetPortNames() returns an empty string. In other words, NO port names are returned. I'm not terribly knowledgable about ports but from the Hardware Manager I did notice that I don't have the Ports and...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
