  I have a program that will program up to 256 devices over SerialPorts. (max in most Windows OS)
  I would probably stick to 5 at a time.
  
  I am going to multi-thread the program to do this and handle the reply from the external devices.
  So for ## devices, do I need to declare ## SerialPort classes???
  
  for example,
  

  string [ ] myString = SerialPort.GetPortNames();

  SerialPort [ ] mySerialPortArray = new SerialPort [ myString.Length ];

  Array.Sort( myString );

  for(int i = myString.Length - 1; i == 0; i++)

  {

  mySerialPortArray [ i ].BaudRate = 115200;

  mySerialPortArray [ i ].DtrEnable = true;

  mySerialPortArray [ i ].Parity = Parity.None;

  mySerialPortArray [ i ].StopBits = StopBits.One;

  mySerialPortArray [ i ].DataBits = 8;

  mySerialPortArray [ i ].PortName = myString [ i ];

  }
