new port opened event

Question

I am building a small application in c#.
My application needs to get notified as soon as other applications open a port.
with some pinvoke calls I can get only the ports which are open when the call was made.
Only solution i found is to use a timer and compare the results obtained in each pinvoke call.
but this is not an elegant solution. can someone point me to a better solution.

Maybe you can find a windows message which notifies about an opened port.

protected override void WndProc(ref Message m) {
Debug.WriteLine(m);
base.WndProc(ref m);
}

Solution 1

There is no such event or callback.

Your only solution is to poll for the open ports as you already are.
