simple send and receive from com1

hello i am trying to make a real-time clock with a microprocessor , and i want to display the output on my pc with c# .

my code is below

#region Namespace Inclusions
using System;
using System.IO.Ports;
using System.Windows.Forms;
#endregion
 
namespace SerialPortExample
{
class SerialPortProgram
{
// Create the serial port with basic settings
private SerialPort port = new SerialPort("COM1", 9600, Parity.None, 8, StopBits.One);
 
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{ 
// Instatiate this class
new SerialPortProgram();
}
 
private SerialPortProgram()
{
Console.WriteLine("Incoming Data:");
 
// Attach a method to be called when there // is data waiting in the port's buffer
port.DataReceived += new SerialDataReceivedEventHandler(port_DataReceived);
 
// Begin communications
port.Open();
// Write a string
port.Write("140519831548");
 
 
// port.Write("170620001129");
 
 
 
 
// Enter an application loop to keep this thread alive
Application.Run();
}
 
private void port_DataReceived(object sender, SerialDataReceivedEventArgs e)
{
// Show all the incoming data in the port's buffer
Console.Write(port.ReadExisting());
// MessageBox.Show(port.ReadExisting()); 
}
}
}

whis code works fine and displays the clock.

the problem is i want to give this command lets say 3 secs after the program starts.

port.Write("170 620001129"); // sets date and time

But i didnt know where to put that. Any suggestions?

What version of .net are you using? The sample code looks very strange

Hello

What exactly you mean ,you want to stop displaying time only for firsdt time or it should show for every 3 seconds if this is the case just go for threading ,Thread.Sleep(t ime in millisec);

if you want to wait only for the first time then ,just take a bool variable and make use of that as your requirement.

Hope you got an idea
