SerialPort.getDeviceName()?

Mar 19 2007 8:13 PM
I'm working with System.IO.Ports.SerialPort to keep dibs on card-reader device on an rs-232 serial port. In the case that there are multiple serial ports on a machine, i want to be able to detect the card-reader automatically. is there any way that I can determine the device connected to a port using .net (or any property of the connected device, such as it's name)? I've scoured the API on SerialPort and there's no such property/method that I can see.
