Atomic write with SerialPort?

Hi,

I am experiencing the exact same problem described in this post:

http://groups.google.com/group/micro...664b95cd2e0fdb

Sometimes my SerialPort.Writ e() calls are being interrupted before
completion. This problem occurs much more frequently in a GUI program
than in a console program. Calling SerialPort.Base Stream.Flush() does
not alleviate the problem.

Does anyone know of a way to ensure that serial port writes proceed to
completion without being interrupted?

Thanks.

Is there a boolean flag that can be set atomically without needing to wrap it in a mutex? This flag will be checked constantly by multiple threads so I don't really want to deal with the overhead of mutexes or semaphores. Thanks. Shayan

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_HANDSHAKE (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...

Pardon if this is the wrong newsgroup for this question, and/or if this question is naive. I have a multi-threaded Windows application in which certain variables/object fields are shared: one thread may write the variable, and the other thread read it. The variables in question may have int or int* types. Question: Is it safe to do this? Or is it possible a read that happens at the same time as a write may retrieve a scrambled value,...

Hello all, I have a strange problem with the .NET serialPort class. When I write some data to the serialport, not all the data is immediately send: every once in a while, only ~50 characters of the 64 characters I'm sending gets send. Then, when I do a write() again, the data gets send. This is unacceptable behavior for my program.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
