Why you don't tried this with google? Google is your friend, always try using that.

Try using SerialPort.GetPortNames Method [^].

hiii,

C#

using System;
using System.IO.Ports;

namespace SerialPortExample
{
    class SerialPortExample
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
            // Get a list of serial port names.
            string[] ports = SerialPort.GetPortNames();

            Console.WriteLine("The following serial ports were found:");

            // Display each port name to the console.
            foreach(string port in ports)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(port);
            }

            Console.ReadLine();
        }

    }
}

thanks for answering. but how can I change port name to COM1 automatically?

lukeer · Answer 4 · 2012-08-29T00:20:00

How about that?

C#

System.IO.Ports.SerialPort port = new System.IO.Ports.SerialPort();
port.PortName = "COM1";

And you're done.

But are you sure that at all times COM1 will be the correct port? For everything but the simplest quick-and-dirty tools, I suggest you enable the user to select from the list of available ports.
