Hello Brad Pitt!

Below I give you some line of code which is show the all ports in your system.

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication2

{

class Program

{

static System.IO.Ports.SerialPort _serialPort;

static void Main(string[] args)

{

_serialPort = new System.IO.Ports.SerialPort();

_serialPort.PortName = SetPortName(_serialPort.PortName);

}

public static string SetPortName(string defaultPortName)

{

string portName;

Console.WriteLine("Available Ports:");

foreach (string s in System.IO.Ports.SerialPort.GetPortNames())

{

Console.WriteLine(s);

}

Console.Write("Default port({0}): ", defaultPortName);

portName = Console.ReadLine();

if (portName == "")

{

portName = defaultPortName;

}

return portName;

}
