I'm not sure what THIS makes me but I'll go ahead and empty my clipboard (code copied from here GS - one of many[^] ). What I do when I have questions like yours is use Google. Sometimes there's nothing and I get flummoxed. Other times there's something which inspires me to continue working and not just pack it in for the day and get some exercise.
using System;
using System.IO.Ports;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace SerialPortExample
{
class SerialPortProgram
{
// Create the serial port with basic settings
private SerialPort port = new SerialPort("COM1",
9600, Parity.None, 8, StopBits.One);
\[STAThread\]
static void Main(string\[\] args)
{
// Instatiate this class
new SerialPortProgram();
}
private SerialPortProgram()
{
Console.WriteLine("Incoming Data:");
// Attach a method to be called when there
// is data waiting in the port's buffer
port.DataReceived += new
SerialDataReceivedEventHandler(port\_DataReceived);
// Begin communications
port.Open();
// Enter an application loop to keep this thread alive
Application.Run();
}
private void port\_DataReceived(object sender,
SerialDataReceivedEventArgs e)
{
// Show all the incoming data in the port's buffer
Console.WriteLine(port.ReadExisting());
}
}
}
