In Device Manager there are descriptions of the PC's serial ports with the port number in parenthesis. I would like access to these descriptions in C#. For Example my application uses a USB to Serial Adapter. Device manager reports it as "USB Serial Port (COM1)". Using the System.IO.SerialPort.GetPortNames() only returns the information in parenthesis. Is there any way to get the information before that i.e. "USB Serial Port"?
