Is there any Information about reading out a RS23-Port with C#?

Thanks,

Yes, checkout the System.IO.Ports .SerialPort class. It was added in
..net 2.0. I just typed it into Google and got plenty of info.

Thank you David for your response.

I would like to know if can I work with DEX (I will transmit
information from my handheld to my PC) using this class? And if it's
possible for you, could you give a sample?

Cheers,

Marcelo Muzilli

I'm not sure what DEX is. I have successfully used this class to
control ptz cameras and wireless bar code scanners. So, I don't see any
reason why it shouldn't work with your hardware.

Below is some sample code to open a the port and listen for data. It
assumes that the device sends ascii characters and that it terminates
the lines with a carriage return.

If your device has a binary protocol, you will probably want to use
SerialPort.Read () which can fill in an array of bytes.

There's also Write() and WriteLine() is you need to send data/commands
to the device.

using System;
using System.IO.Ports ;

public class Example
{
private static SerialPort port;

public static void Main()
{
// setup the port
port = new SerialPort("com 1",
9600, Parity.None, 8, StopBits.One);
port.NewLine = "\r";

// setup event handler
port.ErrorRecei ved += port_ErrorRecei ved;

// open port
port.Open();

Console.WriteLi ne("Port opened, waiting for data, " +
"press enter to quit");
Console.ReadLin e();

port.Close();
}

private static void port_DataReceiv ed(object sender,
SerialDataRecei vedEventArgs e)
{
string line = port.ReadLine() ;
Console.WriteLi ne("Received: " + line);
}
}
