SerialPort c# .NET 2.0

I'm trying to convert from a lot of invoked code to c# 2.0 SerialPort code.
I can't find a way to set fOutxCtsFlow to true (maybe CTSEnable?) and
fRtsControl = RTS_CONTROL_HAN DSHAKE (RtsEnable?). Also, do I need to set
the handshaking? Below is the old and attempted new (that continually gets
a timeout error on read. I upped the read timeout, but it's way too long
NOT for it to be a handshaking or other issue than the readtimeout setting.
Thanks in advance, Joshua Moore

Part of the old code to open the serialport connection was:

DCB dcb;

GetCommState(m_ CommHandle, &dcb);

dcb.BaudRate = 57600;

dcb.ByteSize = 8;

dcb.Parity = NOPARITY;

dcb.StopBits = ONESTOPBIT;

dcb.fOutxCtsFlo w = TRUE;

dcb.fRtsControl = RTS_CONTROL_HAN DSHAKE;

SetCommState(m_ CommHandle, &dcb);

NEW CODE:

serialPort = new System.IO.Ports .SerialPort("CO M1", 57600,
System.IO.Ports .Parity.None, 8, System.IO.Ports .StopBits.One);

serialPort.Hand shake = System.IO.Ports .Handshake.Requ estToSend;

// serialPort.Read BufferSize = 2047;

// serialPort.Writ eBufferSize = 2047;

serialPort.RtsE nable = true;

serialPort.Read Timeout = 800;

serialPort.Writ eTimeout = 30;

Hi there, I'm developing an application to catch OBD sensors' data from my car. I connect it via a RS232 interface. Now. with HyperTerminal I can connect and send/receive data, but I'd like to do this from inside my C# program. Anyone can write down a very small (or tell how to do it myself) application containing methods like WriteToSerialPort(string what) and ReadFromSerialPort(what).

When I try to use a System.IO.Ports.SerialPort object to read from a serial port, half of the time I have no problems. However, after I successfully read from the serial port, then close the connection, either when re-opening it (in the same instance or a new instance of my program) I get either an IOException "The Handle is Invalid" exception or an ArgumentException "The portName is invalid. Now, I get the port name by doing this: String...

I'm trying to send some printer commands (ZPLII) to an attached USB printer using the SerialPort component. I didn't get very far at all. In fact I haven't gotten anywhere. The first problem I encountered is that a call to SerialPort.GetPortNames() returns an empty string. In other words, NO port names are returned. I'm not terribly knowledgable about ports but from the Hardware Manager I did notice that I don't have the Ports and...

I set up two virtual COM ports 3 and 4 using com0com. I tried to test it with the following program. However, the DataReceived event handlers never get called. Can anyone with SerialPort class experience double check my code so I can narrow it down to com0com not being setup correctly? using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.IO.Ports; using System.IO;

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
