public:
 property System::String ^ PortName { System::String ^ get(); void set(System::String ^ value); };
public string PortName { get; set; }
[System.ComponentModel.Browsable(true)]
public string PortName { get; set; }
member this.PortName : string with get, set
[<System.ComponentModel.Browsable(true)>]
member this.PortName : string with get, set
Public Property PortName As String

Property Value

The communications port. The default is COM1.

Attributes

Exceptions

The PortName property was set to a value with a length of zero.

-or-

The PortName property was set to a value that starts with "\\".

-or-

The port name was not valid.

The PortName property was set to null.

The specified port is open.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the use of the SerialPort class to allow two users to chat from two separate computers connected by a null modem cable. In this example, the users are prompted for the port settings and a username before chatting. This code example is part of a larger code example provided for the SerialPort class.

        // Create a new SerialPort object with default settings.
        _serialPort = gcnew SerialPort();

        // Allow the user to set the appropriate properties.
        _serialPort->PortName = SetPortName(_serialPort->PortName);
