Is it possible to access Serial COM port from Metro Style App written in C#?

If yes, how?

 

Thanks,

Answer 1

WinRT currently does not support for Serial COM.  Please refer to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh464945(v=VS.85).aspx.

we can't operate the COM port in the Windows store app in any way......

Answer 3

This isn’t a scenario we targeted.  The option of last resort – is you write a custom driver, which isn’t an option for everyone, and even then it can only be accessed by one privileged app declared in device metadata.   A desktop app may be a better answer.
