I have a question about friendly name I read a lot (really a lot) about how to get the friendly name. I even used the WMICodeCreator I have a code to put. But actually I don't understand how to add this to my combobox menu. here under is my code. Actually this one is showing the available COM port on the computer, but I would like to show the friendlyname of this one to make my application easier to use. How can I do to display friendlyname instead of "COMx" by using this?
public partial class Form1 : Form { private SerialPort myport; public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); myport = new SerialPort(); } private void portbox_DropDown(object sender, EventArgs e) { string[] ports = SerialPort.GetPortNames(); portbox.Items.Clear(); foreach (string port in ports) { portbox.Items.Add(port); } } private void butvalidate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { myport.BaudRate = 9600; myport.PortName = portbox.SelectedItem.ToString(); myport.Open(); }
In advance thanks for your help, I'm kinda news in coding that why I'm asking.
