How can I find out what COM ports that exists on my computer?

string[] lPorts = System.IO.Ports.SerialPort.GetPortNames();

[Michael Nemtsev]

..NET 2.0: SerialPort.GetPortNames();
..NET 1.1.: WMI with "Select * from Win32_POTSModem"

WMI: Win32_SerialPort
Win32_POTSModem is for a modem device.

Note also that this only returns the standard BIOS Serial ports as per
PC98/99 standards.
