How do I read data from different ports in asp.net web application.

We have attached multiple devices on the computer like weighing machine, thermal printer, barcode scanner & dot matrix printer.

Now, want to read or send the data to these ports simultaneously.

What I have tried:

Currently, we are using Windows Application for listening the port.

Are these devices attached to the web server itself, or the client computer? If the client computer then asp.net can't access client hardware, you'll need something running on the client machine to do that.

All these devices are attached with the client side.

Then you're out of luck. Code running on the server cannot access hardware connected to the client.

you would have to create some kind of stream of data from client computer and consume that stream in you web app.
