Hi,

1.
SerialPort does enumerate all serial ports as it should, there is no problem, except it does not know about the underlying hardware, so for instance you can't differentiate motherboard vs USB ports.

2.
I trust USB is called USB in all languages that use latin character sets, so you could use String.Contains on the friendlyname.

3.
I have my own class enumerating all serial ports, its underlying technology is somewhat similar to the class you referred; here it is, use at your leisure. It returns a list of struct ComInfo which holds the friendlyname as well as the location (for USB serial ports this is a concatenation of port numbers, pointing to the USB port actually used).
BTW: you will have to remove all lines that hold an "env", these are used for my debugging only.
