Can anyone tel me how to create virtual com ports using csharp?

In short, you probably can't. This would normally require writing a device
driver, which currently can only be written in a language compiling to
native code, since the Common Language Runtime operates only in the
application layer.
 
Thank you for suggestion. Can you give me some tips or links to articles how
to implement virtual com ports using .net native code.

Thank you.

Aravind.
 
The only way to do this is by using the Device Driver Kit, you can obtain
the DDK from:
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/ddk/default.mspx
this DDK contains a bunch of samples and is fairly well documented, but I
doubt you will be able to start driver development only by reading the
docs......
