@Richard - I didn't get any further than the first answer since it kind of raised the valid point of should you really ever need to know this information – Sayse Jul 14 '14 at 06:43

Windows Management Infrastructure (WMI) is probably the easiest way: the WMI type Win32_SerialPort.
Make use of the System.Management namespace types to access WMI from .NET applications.
