      <para>The <see cref="N:System.IO.Ports" /> namespace contains classes for controlling serial ports. The most important class, <see cref="T:System.IO.Ports.SerialPort" />, provides a framework for synchronous and event-driven I/O, access to pin and break states, and access to serial driver properties. It can be used to wrap a <see cref="T:System.IO.Stream" /> objects, allowing the serial port to be accessed by classes that use streams.  </para>
