Checking for a USB to Com port driver using C#
Jun 27 2012 10:48 AM
Hi All,
I am writing an application to interface with a device using a USB port, I need to check to see if the driver that allows USB to Com port access is installed and give a message if it is not (or run the installer) I have written a simple test app to show all drivers
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// MessageBox.Show("hello!");
ServiceController[] scDevices = ServiceController.GetDevices();
MessageBox.Show("Device driver services on the local computer");
foreach (ServiceController scTemp in scDevices)
{
rtbDrivers.Text += ("\n" + scTemp.ServiceType+","+scTemp.ServiceName+","+ scTemp.DisplayName);
}
}
the entery in the rtbDrivers that seems most likely is
KernelDriver,Serial,Serial port driver
Is this a standard catch all driver.
