Com0com Serial Port Emulators
I have a utility which connects to a device through a serial port. To test this application I'm writing a simulator for the device. Both applications are intended to run on the same Windows 7 machine.

Brief description: COM Port Data Emulator is a tool for emulating a com port or an Ethernet device, that generates a serial stream of data. The program can create a data flow, wrap it to data packets (RS232, TCP/IP or UDP) and send to a port.

I'm writing the simulator in C#. I used com0com to create a pair of virtual ports (in this case - CNCA8 & CNCB8, since I already have several existing pairs). I'm trying to open CNCB8 in the simulator (application is not running yet), and I get an exception: An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in System.dll Additional information: The given port name does not start with COM/com or does not resolve to a valid serial port.

Free plugins for photoshop 7. Sample code: SerialPort port = new SerialPort('CNCB8', 9600, Parity.None, 8, StopBits.One); port.Handshake = Handshake.None; port.Open(); This question is not relevant since it's an unused virtual port (IsOpen returns false if that matters): EDIT: I also made sure that the port name appears in SerialPort.GetPortNames(), and it appears in WIndows' device manager under 'com0com serial port emulators'. I also tried using CNCA instead of B (with a few different existing virtual ports), tried to remove the 'HandShake' line and tried changing the baud rate to 115200, just in case (although ultimately I need 9600 there).
