    How do you populate a listbox with all available LPT,Com and USB ports?

    Hi gang,

    How do you populate a listbox with all available LPT,Com and USB ports?

    I'd like to use a Form, and on form load, collect all LPT, Serial and USB ports on the current system and have them populate a listBox on the form.

    Has anyone got a snippet?

    I don't do much work with LPT or USB, but for Com I use:

    Code:
                string[] PortList = SerialPort.GetPortNames();
                foreach (string p in PortList)
                {
                    this.PortCB.Items.Add(p);
                }
