So i'm trying to read arduino serial from c#, but it shows me the folowing exeption when i try to open the port:
System.PlatformNotSupportedException: 'System.IO.Ports is currently only supported on Windows
I am currently using windows 11.
Also i tried setting the target OS to windows in the .csproj file.

Maybe it is possible to create another type of project (WPF, Forms).

You should have something like this:
<TargetFramework>net6.0-windows</TargetFramework> -

2024-03-18T15:42:25.5933333+00:00 I set the target framework just like that
<TargetFramework>net6.0-windows</TargetFramework>oh and i tried to create a nother one, but it didn't work. Maybe i'll try it on a nother computer, and see if it works.

2024-03-18T18:16:53.5066667+00:00 This .NET 6 C# console project code compiles and runs OK for me - though I don't have any serial ports on my machine.
namespace SerPortsTest { internal class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { var ports = System.IO.Ports.SerialPort.GetPortNames(); } } } -
