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;
        }
    }
}
