In my DeviceManager i can see 3xCOM port installed. Only one of them is physical port - 2 other are virtual. When I list them:

 string[] portNames = SerialPort.GetPortNames();<br />
<br />
            foreach (string port in portNames)<br />
            {<br />
                listBox1.Items.Add(port);<br />
            }<br />

I get: COM1, COM2, COM3. It tells me nothing - only that 3 ports are installed in my computer. Other way is to use WMI. It works perfectly for physical ports.

<br />
SelectQuery query = new SelectQuery("select * from Win32_SerialPort");<br />
<br />
ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(query);<br />
<br />
ManagementObjectCollection collection = searcher.Get();<br />
<br />
foreach (ManagementObject port in collection)<br />
{<br />
listBox2.Items.Add(port["Name"].ToString());<br />
}<br />

That way i get only "Name" (Communication Port) of the physical COM port but no virtual ports are listed.
My question is: How to get property "Name" or any other of the virtual serial ports.
Thanks in advance
ps. Sorry for my bad english :]

I'm sorry, what it is exactly you're trying to do?
I understand you have an excel spreadsheet on your local drive and want to upload it somewhere...
Where?
What do you mean by "fetch an excel spreadsheet dynamically"?

Rephrase your post or do not, there is no "try" ;>

openFileDialog1.ShowDialog();
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(openFileDialog1.FileName);

No need upload anything. You have to have Excel installed, otherwise the system will not know what to do with the file.

Hi ,

Anybody please help me in this ..it is an urgent for me.

Actually i have a DataGridview in my window which should be with one fixed row and 2 fixed columns.

Fixedrow is done in Datagridview with the headercolumn property. Now i need to add 2 columns as fixed..

I tried with cell.frozen property, then the column is frozen, but still the tab control goes into this cells.and also it is not appearing same as column header.

Is there a way to make this 2 columns as rowheader?

In VB6 Flexgrid we have the option Fixedcols=2 ....is there any equivalent in DataGrideview windows C#?

Anyone please help me, asap...

Thanks in advance.

Use TemplateFields and then set the AutoGenerateColumns= false. Hmmm I think I haven't understood your question clearly...anyways hope this one helps you Smile | :)

~~I was saying about TemplateField property in a GridView. Huhhh I accept that these IDE's make me a bit lazy in remembering the syntax...I wonder how can I code without IDE's Intellisense~~ Hey I'm sorry...I haven't realized that this is a C# forum

Hi,

I have created a client socket and when I try to connect to a remote IP address, I receice an exception
"An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used".

Code works fine on XP but it throws this exception when run on Vista.
I believe that Vista uses IPV6 by default for IPAddress and not IPV4.
This could be the reason.

But I am not able to find out the solution as how to handle it.

Please suggest.
