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?
ManagementObjectSearcher is making error when I'm using it (even if I'm adding using System.Management;)
I'm using Windows Form application on C#.
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.
