How can I send simple Escape-Sequences to a serial-port (COM4 in my case) with C# in Windows XP and Windows 7?
If you use a form the easy way is to drop the SerialPort control on to it and set PortName to COM4.
If you don’t use a form you can declare the control from System.IO.Ports.
Then set baud rate, parity etc. to match the port on the other end.
Here is a complete example on how to use it:
