Hi there,
I’m brand-new to wisej, so excuse any silly questions!
I’ve built a simple web app. and want to access system port names. Here’s the VB.NET desktop code:
Sub GetSerialPortNames()
‘ Show all available COM ports.
For Each sp As String In My.Computer.Ports.SerialPortNames
ListBox1.Items.Add(sp)
Next
End Sub
However, the web app doesn’t recognise .Ports, so how else do I achieve this?
Thanks
Regards,
Darren
WiseJ is for creating Web Based applications. Keep in mind even if you could access the COM ports – they would be com ports on the web server – not your client machine. Your VB code executes on the server itself under IIS.
Hi Edmond & thanks for the reply.
Yes, I realise wisej is for web apps & that serial port access is on server only. That’s fine.
Since I posted this question I found that you can retrieve port names from device manager, but it’s odd how my.computer.ports isn’t available.
Cheers,
Darren
