Question Simulate COM port on VM

[Harry_moon]

Hello,

I have a laptop that does not have a COM port.
I need to simulate COM ports on my VirtualBox for a C # application.
Would you have a tip for her?

Thank you

Virtualbox has COM ports,go to settings -> serial ports and you can configure it the way you need it,it even shows you the IRQ and the hex number of the I/O port,for programming I would guess it would be best to set it up as a raw file so you can read and write to it and check the file out afterwards to see if all went well.

Since this is about C programming I doubt a virtual port will be much help unless it shows up in OS exactly the same way as a real one.
