Serial Port Communication

[Sifar 0]

Hi All, I have an appliation that communicates with a hardware device attahced with the system. So far, the device had been attached using USB so the application was determining the PORT using Port Name. Now, the newer device have 9-pin serial port. How can I now determine the Port number? I don't want to iterate through all the ports and send any command and analyse the response to determine the required Port. Any suggestion or hint would be greatly helpful...

Regards, -SIFAR.

Thanks TAFIN. I am aware about that class. My problem is how to determine the exact Port Number to which the device is attached without iterating through all the ports.

There really is no way to determine that without iterating. Unless you make the user pick the port manually.
