Usually, when you install the driver for your USB to Serial cable, a new virtual port is created. Note that this port is only visible while the cable is connected to your laptop.
You can then use System.IO.Ports .SerialPort to communicate with your RS232 device, in the same way as you would with a plain RS232 port.
Check that your driver is installed properly. The USB to Serial cable is intended to allow legacy applications to work over USB, so it "pretends" that it is a plain RS232. -
the S in USB = SERIAL. Correct me if im wrong but from what i understand usb ports are listed as COM portsComment
