.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / April 2007Find COM device connected
Hi, I would like to make a win service that test all the com ports and find the deviced connected. Some device have some commands that return data. How can I make this test? Hi, You would have to know what commands to send, and what responses to look for. There is nothing standard about this, so there cannot be any "one" answer. For example, if you wanted to detect if a modem is connected, you could send the string: "ATE1V1Q0" & vbCr 'VB .NET Then wait for the modem (or similar device) to respond with a reply that includes, but may not be limited to: "OK" & vbCrLf Other types of serial devices will work quite differently, so one cannot generally say what commands and responses will work.

Yes but how to enumerate all COM device connected? Hi, Use the PortNames method. I have an example on my website, though it only uses PortNames to fill a listbox for selection. Open each port in the array of names returned, and test them "one-at-a-time."
