I want to get the details of a com port on my machine. To be more precise the com port presents itself in the device manager as:
MyPort(COM3)
I know how to get the name of the port i.e. COM3. Is there a way to get the rest of its description i.e. "MyPort".
I want to make a program where I can chose a COM port (For example COM 1), then check if it's working. It would be really useful for me, seeing as I work a lot with broken COM cards.
There are some programs like uTorrent that allow me log into them through the url...How would I be able to create a port like that, and display information there?
I'm making an application that tracks jobs we log in our IT department and as I'm often out and about it would be handy to be able to use this app from my laptop and connect in to our server at our office. The problem is that a lot of the places I go block all outboundtraffic apart from port 80 and 443 (for HTTP and HTTPS). Now I know I could write an ASP.NET front end that I could just access over the internet but to be honest I just plain dont like making ASP.NET web pages and so if there is any way I could do this just through my standard desktop app that would be good.
I've heard a bit about "web services" and to me this sounds like a solution but I dont know enough about them to decide if I should use one or not.The main thing that will decide this is whether or not I can make this web service listen on port 80, is that possible?Also, is it hard work making something use HTTPS instead of HTTP so that the data is encrypted? I mean, do you have to do all of the encrypting yourself or is there some sort of automatic function you can use to handle this?
able to open and utilize a single serial port within with my VB 2008 program (i.e., set port parameters, open&close port, send&receive data via port, etc.), but I want to open two or more serial ports concurrently within my VB 2008 program so that I can read data from one port, say COM1, make decisions and calculations based on that data, and send instructions out through another port, say COM2.
I have been stumped on this for about 3 weeks now. In the beginning me and my partner have been trying to hit this at the internal angle. only problem is different html tables are constructed different than others. We are needing to extract from multiple pages and sites so we know that Regex will be the best solution. We can use the same script for everything. This is my first time working with Regex, I got it actually extracting the very first ip[proxy]. I have no idea why it isn't extracting every one on the page. I also have to add the . in between each each octave of the ip. That is weird because I have it in the Regexpession to find the .'s.What I'm Needing is for this to basically scan the whole page and grab all the ipsorts and add them to a listbox.Here is my

How can I collect details regarding the hardware and software, of a PC ?As for registration process of the product (my app), I wish to collect the details of that PC and get it saved into my server.When the client request for a new serial key, because of formatting the PC and other reasons, I would compare the PC details and will issue a new serial key based on the result.

All I want to do is grab the IP details of the local machine in VB 2008 (or previous versions) using actual coding and not relying on output from ipconfig/all. I specifically need the subnet mask and gateway of the local machine.
I have found documents on how to do this in C++ using the networkadapter functions which is of no use to me because im using VB. Ive managed to find how to get the local ip address (using winsock or third party control) but nothing more and a few pages on using WMI but all examples are using vbscript rather than the full blown visual basic.
how to do this in vb and have any sample code?

Can anyone send me sample application of communications?If I write a program communicating with my hardware using Searial port or TCP/IP, will the program be slow?? Are there any programming techniques working with communication ports?
We need to put a firewall in between our servers and a couple of clients. To do this we need to limit the number DCOM ports available so that we know what ports to open on the firewall.The question I have is do we need to limit the number of ports on all the machines inside the firewall as well as outside. This would cause an issue as we have lots of machines which would need to be modified.If DCOM has the intelligence to negotiate on port 135 which port is available on both machines which need to communicate, we will only need to modify the 2 machines on the outside of the firewall.
I am creating a USB "cookie dispenser" (long story) and I plan on programming it by, when cookie.exe starts, it disables the port, you plug the USB in and press a button and it enables the port (thus powering the device). What I need to know is, is this at all possible? And if so, can you help me get it to work? I know I should put in an effort but it's late for me (UK) and I want to post this overnight so that you guys (in the USA may
