Could you help me?

I need show in comboBoxUSB only USB Serial Port?

Great Tutorial.
I found I was unable to close the port, so tried the code below:

        

private void cmdClose_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            comm.PortName = cboPort.Text;
            comm.ClosePort();
            
            cmdOpen.Enabled = true;
            cmdClose.Enabled = false;
            cmdSend.Enabled = true; 
        }

            comm.ClosePort();

            cmdClose.Enabled = false;
            cmdSend.Enabled = true;
        }
        

also in CommunicationManager.cs

        #region ClosePort
        public bool ClosePort()
        {
            try
            {
                //first check if the port is already open
                //if its open then close it
                if ((comPort.IsOpen == true) && (comPort.BytesToRead == 0)) comPort.Close();

                //display message
                DisplayData(MessageType.Normal, "Port closed at " + DateTime.Now + "\n");
                //return false
                return false;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                DisplayData(MessageType.Error, ex.Message);
                return true;
            }
        } 
        #endregion
        

it seems to work OK.

I am puzzled by the code below:

in frmMain.cs

        private void rtbDisplay_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }
        

It does'nt seem to be referenced anywhere. What does it do?
Any ideas would be appreciated.

1)I was all data those are display rtbDisplay (RichTextBox) it will save at my desktop in txt file the code are as below:-

private void cmdOpen_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
comm.PortName = cboPort.Text;
comm.Parity = cboParity.Text;
comm.StopBits = cboStop.Text;
comm.DataBits = cboData.Text;
comm.BaudRate = cboBaud.Text;
if (rtbDisplay != null)
{
comm.DisplayWindow = rtbDisplay;
// FileMode.Append
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("C:\\Users\\Arjun\\Desktop\\test.txt");

sw.WriteLine(rtbDisplay.Text);
sw.Close();


}
Know i want to hide the rtbDisplay(Rich Text Box) and write same data in test.txt with \n .so pls help me wt i do any body pls

But i want to display

pLS Check all code when we click on closed button so no need of
//display message
DisplayData(MessageType.Normal, "Port closed at " + DateTime.Now + "\n");

code it is create confusion
