    This comment (not mine, I hasten to add) on a question about serial ports:

    Convert.ToFloat("12.51");
    You're not going to like this, but converting from one simple type to another simple type should not be an issue.

    I suggest you buy a book and go through a lot of tutorials before attempting anything more complex.

    Elicited a down vote, and this reply from the OP:

    Hi,
    Sir what Book mean ?
    Regards

    This is getting frightening...he doesn't even know what a book is? :~

    Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

      Yah... old technology requires old research methods... Kids these days. I have a serial comm book at home :laugh: I don't throw old books away. New books on the other hand... quite useless imo... I'll just use the web for that.

        The OP may wish to look up a rather obscure short story by Asimov, The Holmes-Ginsbook Device. :)

        If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

                I think he simply asks WHAT book to read...its just bad English. But the fact that he doesn't know how to convert types...now, that is...wow. What is he (or maybe she) doing programming, he should be banned from computers! ;)
