How to send a string array to a COM PORT?

Question

Once I have identified a serial port to communicate with on Windows 7 (using the Win32_SerialPort WMI method, how do you recommend sending a string array to it using c#? Many thanks in advance.

What format does the receiving device require? What have you tried? — Adam

You can use the SerialPort class, as described here on MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.ports.serialport.aspx

A prototype available is Write(string), which you can use in a loop for your requirements.
