USB - Raw COM Port Access about device.net HOT 4 CLOSED

@hbopuri , if you would like to write a pull request, here is some code that works well. I've used it before for GPS reading:

However, there are a lot of complications with this. My library is designed for enumerating through devices, while serial port reading is different. The pattern isn't to enumerate through the devices, it's to listen on every port until you find a useful message. This doesn't really fit with Device.Net, but it's not impossible either.

I will implement it at some point, but this is not a high priority right now.

Can you please share the code you have or COM port read and write, As I am developing app that talks to HIDs on a parallel thread I need to talk to COM ports as well so I felt it will be nice if both my HID and COM providers are derived from same library ans signatures. If your code is giving what I need, than I can spend some time to integrate with Device.NET

@hbopuri there is now a library for raw COM/Serial Port access. It's released here:

SerialPort.Net

The code is here

WindowsSerialPortDevice

You can see unit tests here. One of these tests will expect a device to be on COM3

But this one will scan the COM ports and try to connect to all:

I expect the tests to have issues on your machine because you're going to have different devices connected on different ports.

Please let me know how you go with this. I will be closing this issue soon if I don't hear anything.

@hbopuri I will document this soon. There is an issue stub for documentation. For now, the unit tests will give you what you need. Also, the windows sample will list out COM ports that are available with a device.
