Q: 

Accessing serial data on USB COM port

Hi,

I have a h/w device connected to my USB port. The device sends serial data to my USB port. It is connected on one of the COM ports.

I wanted to know, how can I take these values in a C# desktop client?

Thank You

+2  A: 

You can use for that .Net 2.0 component SerialPort Class

No he can't. USB ports are not Serial Ports.

Hi, can you please tell me why can't I do that? USB sends serial data, right?

+1. Yes he can, COM port emulation is very common.

Yes, you can, most COM ports nowadays are done through USB, they appear as regular old COM ports.
