LPT detection on Win XP using C#

Hello!
In my application I need to detect how many parallel ports there are
in a machine I'm using and what their state is. Is it possible in C#?
Any ideas how to do it?

thanks in advance,
Lukasz

Well System.IO.Ports .SerialPort reads from
@"HKEY_LOCAL_MA CHINE\HARDWARE\ DEVICEMAP\SERIA LCOMM", so you can probably
read the parallel port information from the registry in a similar way.

Hi guys, I have put together a flexible client-side user agent detector (written in js). I thought that some of you may find it useful. Code is here: http://fotios.cc/software/ua_detect.htm The detector requires javascript 1.0 to work. This translates to netscape 2.0 and IE 3.0 (although maybe IE 2.0 also works with it)

Everythings works fine, if there is only one simple script like: http://www.dr-wald.de/test/Opera-NOSCRIPT.html Switching off Javascript will show the alternative content. Javascript enabled will only show the JS-content, _not_ the <NOSCRIPT> content.

I've have got this script, the only thing I want to be changed is the first part. It has to detect IE version 6 instead of just "Microsoft Internet Explorer". Can somebody help me out?

We all know that feature detection technique works from very beggining of user-agents supporting JavaScript. We can alway check if eg. document has a write property or smth else: if(document.write) { } We could do that for all of objects, so i have been surprised when i found 'in' operator, which for above example would be used like this:

In a recent thread in this group, I said that in some cases object detection and feature tests weren't sufficient in the development of cross-browser applications, and that there were situations where you could improve the application by detecting the browser vendor/version. Some of the posters here disagreed. Since then, I've had to deal with a few of these cases; some of them could be rewritten to use object detection, and some couldn't....
