    Like this: value1:value2:value3:value4:value5:value6 You dont need one after value6, but you'll need one in between each of the other values.

        I'm not sure I understand what you are asking. You should be able to call a function from with the data_recieved() function. Like this: private void seriport_DataReceived(object sender, SerialDataReceivedEventArgs e) { // This method will be called when there is data waiting in the port's buffer string[] data; data = comport.ReadLine().Split(System.Convert.ToChar(":")); FunctionCall(); }

                What errors are you getting? Are you simply trying to set the .Text value of a textbox?

                    Yes, once you parse the recieved data, you can clear the array that holds it. Another option would be to close the port until you need it opened again. To clear the array, I think this should work: Array.Clear(data, 0, data.Length);

                        Do you get any errors when you open the port? Also, can you post the code within the data_recieved event handler?

                            Hmm, how are you opening the port? I can run the line where you are getting the error. Here is how I open mine: try { if (comport.IsOpen) comport.Close(); else { // Set the port's settings comport.BaudRate = int.Parse(Settings.Default.BaudRate.ToString()); comport.DataBits = int.Parse(Settings.Default.DataBits.ToString()); comport.StopBits = (StopBits)Settings.Default.StopBits; comport.Parity = (Parity)Settings.Default.Parity; comport.PortName = Settings.Default.PortName.ToString(); // Open the port try { comport.Open(); } catch { } } } catch (Exception ex) { //no com port may be present log.Write("ERROR: " + ex.Message, "InitializePort"); }

                                      Im not sure what else to tell you without seeing the code as a whole. What I have posted should work. Com ports are pretty easy to work with, just make sure its opened correctly, then read the data and do what you need to do with it.

                                        i have done it many times.my problem is that: i have a simulation project in wpf.so my serial datas will will simulate my robot arm s axises.for example:i send from microcontrolor to computer this: for(;;) { delay_ms(1); putc(value1); putc(':'); putc(value2); putc(':'); putc(value3); putc(':') putc(value4); putc(':'); putc(value5); putc(':'); putc(value6); } so i must get datas like this: "value1" for "axis 1","value2" for "axis2" .... now could i explain my problem?

                                          Ok, try concatinating all values into one string, then sending that string to the port all at once. putc(value1 & ":" & value2 & ":" & value3 & ":" & value4 & ":" & value5 & ":" & value6); Not sure what language you are using to send the information, so may need a different concatenation value. Then, when you recieve the data, you will get the whole string at once, and the Split() command will split all the values so data[0] will hold value1, data[1] will hold value2 and so on.
