SerialPort Control in VC# Express 2005

Hello,

I have a problem with the SerialPort Control under VC# Express 2005.
In my application I have to read data from an external device through RS 232.
The process is built on a software-based handshaking which depends on the
device.

The process has been implemented by me and works but unfortunately only the
first time.
All data are donwloaded successfully as required.
The process is simple serialPort11.Op en(), Handshaking, Data Download,
Handshaking, serialPort1.Clo se().

The problem occurs with the second run, when the same procedure is executed
again (using a button_onclick event), then the Port is opened again with
serialPort1.Ope n() and with the first serialPort1.rea dByte() a TimeOut Error
occurs.
Even if the Timeout is set to 10sec it does not help.

If the application is restarted and the process is again executed, then the
data are read perfectly from the device. Hence it does not depend on the
state of the external device, but on the PC (Soft and/or Hardware).

I have the feeling, that closing the SerialPort with serialPort1.Clo se()
does not free all resources and possibly the hardware RS232 is not fully
reset.

Has anyone had a similar problem and found a solution for it?
Can you rely on serialPort1.Clo se()? Are all resources freed?

I hope someone can help

Thanks a lot in advance
Best regards,

Carsten

Here's my problem. I'm using Visual C# 2005 Express for a small project that requires simple AT modem commands to be sent to an external serial device. The device requires 2400 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit. Should be easy enough, except that I cannot get the SerialPort component included with C# Express to talk with this box. I know the box itself is working correctly because a Visual Basic 6.0 application that I...

Hi, I'm experimenting with the Serial Port in VB.NET 2005. Although it isn't that easy to get any feedback from my COM-port as I thought it would be... How can I read all the Data that the port sends back? I tryed with SerialPort1.ReadLine, but that blocks the application and takes a lot of time (10 seconds!), I tryed SerialPort1.Read, but I have to read it into a buffer and has to indicate the count, but how do I know this?

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).
