Hi,

I recently read a Microsoft web page claiming closing-opening a serial port is likely to fail for unknown reasons, the serial port needs an undetermined delay between close and open, even when nothing went wrong. Unfortunately I didn't save the link.

So the only advice I have is: keep the port open and try and make sure nothing ever goes wrong!

OTOH I'm not surprised Device Manager, the SerialPort class and/or the serial driver(s) do not always agree on the availability or health status of a port.

Smile | :)
