[RESOLVED] Getting The Manufacturer Value From COM Port Properties

[ForumAccount]

Does anyone know of a managed/unmanaged way of getting the Manufacturer value from the Communications Port Properties screen? See attached picture.

So far I have this, however it doesn't give me the Manufacturer name:

Public Sub WritePorts()
    Using searcher As New System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM WIN32_SerialPort")
        For Each port In searcher.Get()
            Console.WriteLine(String.Join(Environment.NewLine, _
                                          port.Properties.OfType(Of System.Management.PropertyData)().Select(Function(prop) _
                              String.Format("{0}: {1}", _
                                            prop.Name, _
                                            If(prop.Value Is Nothing, "NULL", prop.Value.ToString()))).ToArray()))
        Next
    End Using
End Sub

Note: You will need to add a reference to System.Management if you want to run this code.

Well, I figured this out, however I'm not sure if the solution is optimal. If I change "SELECT * FROM WIN32_SerialPort" to "SELECT * FROM WIN32_PnPEntity" then I can get this information.
