Hello,
Is there a way, in .NET, to determine what are the avialable Serial
(Communications ) Ports on a Windows OS and is there a way to determine
that port isn't being use other than attempting to opening the Serial
Port and catching the associated exception? Thanks
If there isn't a way to determine the Serial Port within .NET I would
be willing, I guess, to use a WinAPI is that was the only way.

The System.IO.Ports namespace contains classes for controlling serial
ports. The most important class, SerialPort, provides a framework for
synchronous and event-driven I/O, access to pin and break states, and
access to serial driver properties. It can be used to wrap a Stream
objects, allowing the serial port to be accessed by classes that use
streams. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...erialport.aspx
Hope that covers your requirements.
Have a great one.

Besides noted there, I'd add that u can use WMI class "Win32_SerialPo rt" and
check the Availability property
See MSDN for more details

Thanks for the info and I am currently using the System.IO.Ports
class for the serial communications, but what I want is a way to
determine the available ports that are present on the current system.
The Serial Port namespace is pretty nice, though I don't like how the
data is buffered, and props goes to the intern at Microsoft that
initially created the class.
I will give the WMI a go as Michael indicated in his post. So from my
current understanding this is no native .NET way of determining the
enumerated list of available ports on a system. Hopefully Microsoft
might add that feature in the future.

I made an app in c# that uses several serial ports.
For the serial ports I use a pnp Sunix board, some with 8 serial ports
other with 4 or even 2 serial ports.
Whenever I use the development computer I don't have ay problem with
my application.
