Re: enumerate existing comm ports

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi,

I show several methods in my book (see below). As stated, the simplest way
is to simply open each possible port in sequence, trapping any errors. You
also can use the WMI APIs and Randy Birch has an EnumPorts example on
www.mvps.org/vbnet/.
