&lt;p&gt;It is not a problem of com0com, old physical ports (non USB serialports) have the same problem.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Victor Derks</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 26 Jun 2018 19:02:03 -0000</pubDate><guid>https://sourceforge.net4d96ea14d47085c3e4495e455cef8115b3330396</guid></item><item><title>Cannot connect to port from UWP app (WinRT)</title><link>https://sourceforge.net/p/com0com/support-requests/19/</link><description>&lt;div class="markdown_content"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hello. I am trying to connect to a port created by com0com in a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app, however the SerialDevice.FromIdAsync() call returns null for ports created by com0com. This actually happened when I first tried to connect to an FTDI USB to Virtuial Com Port converter, but once I updated to the latest FTDI driver (released very recently) I was able to connect. Here is an example of others having this issue with the FTDI driver: &lt;a href="http://www.timwappat.info/post/2016/03/30/Serial-Port-null-from-SerialDeviceFromIdAsync" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.timwappat.info/post/2016/03/30/Serial-Port-null-from-SerialDeviceFromIdAsync&lt;/a&gt;(dis0Id)-with-windows-UWP-FTDI-adapter&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is there some configuration option that I can set that should allow this to work in a UWP app, or is this fundamentally not supported?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Systematic</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 05 Dec 2016 15:34:43 -0000</pubDate><guid>https://sourceforge.netef1e80450a052a0ead0a967303a251268ad68f42</guid></item></channel></rss>
