See example code below:
using System;
using System.IO.Ports;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static SerialPort port;

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            port = new SerialPort("COM1", 9600, Parity.None, 8);
            port.DataReceived += new SerialDataReceivedEventHandler(port_DataReceived);
            port.Open();
            port.Write("ATi0\r\n");
            Console.ReadLine();
        }

        static void port_DataReceived(object sender, SerialDataReceivedEventArgs e)
        {
            Console.Write( port.ReadExisting() );
        }
    }
}
