Kylix SMS .NET Library 6.0  Developer's Guide (Beta)
Special features only in Kylix SMS .NET Library

1. Search all devices connected on PC. If you are using more than one USB GSM/GPRS modem you can only find several cable names like "Prolific USB-to-Serial Bridge". It's hard to identify them because they have same names. With "SearchDevices" method of Kylix SMS .NET Library the same cable names will be displayed as device manufacturer and models like "SIEMENS MC35i" or "Wavecom GPRS modem". If you are using a 3G HSDPA stick as your SMS device you will find 3 to 4 COM ports, but only one port works correctly. You have to try them all one by one. By using "SearchDevices" method there is only one correct port name and device name will show up. These pictures show how useful of this feature.
