Use WMI. I don't know the specifics, but I'm sure if you google "C# WMI detect serial ports", you'll get thousands of hits.

I imagine you'll be reading up on the Serialport class fairly soon, so here's the link to get you started.

Solution 3

Add namespace: using System.IO.Ports;//

string[] ports = System.IO.Ports.SerialPort.GetPortNames();

foreach (string s in ports)
{
comboBox1.Items.Add(s);
}
