rskibbe.IO.Ports.Com.System.Windows 1.0.3

Description

Easily detecting Windows COM port additions and removals with a few lines of code. rskibbe.IO.Ports.Com.

Getting started

• Import the WindowsSystemComPorts-Class from the rskibbe.IO.Ports.Com.System.Windows-Namespace.

  // normal
  using rskibbe.IO.Ports.Com.System.Windows;
  
  // using an alias
  using ComPorts = rskibbe.IO.Ports.Com.System.Windows.WindowsSystemComPorts;
  

• Create an instance of the class with the provided factory method:

  // normal
  var comPorts = await WindowsSystemComPorts.BuildAsync();
  
  // using the namespace alias
  var comPorts = await ComPorts.BuildAsync();
  

Keep an eye on the SynchronizationContext-Parameter of the BuildAsync-Method. It defaults to the current one!

• Attach a handler to one or both events to start listening for changes

  private void ComPort_Added(object sender, ComPortEventArgs e)
  {
    // access the changed portName "COM3"
    // e.PortName
    // access the changed portId "COM3" -> 3
    // e.PortId
  }
  comPorts.SystemComPortAdded += ComPort_Added;
