Serial port again

AMP
Hello,
I may actually be getting somewhere,BUT i do have another question.
IN 'c" you can change the status of a port without opening and closing
it each time.

SetCommState(hC omPort, &comDCB);

which enables me to toggle the RTS and DTR pins.
I am programming a microcontroller and I have to toggle these two pins
several times WITHOUT opening and closing the port, but I cant seam to
find anythng that does this in c#
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mike

Hi,

There is no support for serial port in 1.1 , there is in 2.0 but at what
extend I'not sure

You can always P/invoke it. check pinvoke.net
also there are a number of implementations for serial comm. check
opennetcf.org , beware this is for the CF but can easily be adapter to the
desktop

I'm a newbie that is still struggling with OOP concepts & how to make things work they way I want. Using Visual C# Express, I have a form in which I added a user control to display a graph, based upon data received via the serial port.

Hi all, I'm a newbie in .NET technology. I've already developed Serial communication applications in C++ (WIN32). And I wanted to migrate to .NET technology. There is a serial component in framework to read and write on serial port. I would like to make asynchronous reception. I saw that we can pass a delegate to the serial class which is call when some data is readen on the port.

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
