Hi,
I have to capture data from the com-port that comes from a barcode-scanner
with rs232-cable.
What is the best way to do it in .net?
In my first attempt i used the msComm-ocx (the one that came with vb6). This
worked on my computer, but after deploy on the computer the programm is
supposed to run on, i encountered errors...
In a second attempt i wanted to use the rs232-class that is provided in a
microsoft-code sample:
( http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...18ca-e4f1-4846
-912c-b4ed37a1578b&Di splayLang=en)
But i can't get this to work
Does somebody has experience on this matter ?
Thanks already for a reply...

Dick Grier has a dll available for download on his website www.hardandsoftware.com
Download the DesktopSerialIO dll and use it to communicate with RS232. I
have downloaded it and it works great in VB2003.

Hi,
What version of .NET? You can download DesktopSerialIO and an accompanying
example from my homepage for VS2003, or you can download the VS2005 example
that uses the built-in System.IO.Ports serial class.
BTW, I have some barcode reader examples in my book (see below).

..NET 2.0 has a COM port class you can use.
Or you could go with a 3rd party class that maybe easier to use. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi,
I am trying to create a User Control that is located in a seperate class
library. The User Control contains a textbox and a button.
The page generates an exception when it tries to access the code variable
that are supposed to be linked to the contained controls.
It runs fines when everything is contained in a single web form project.
What do I need to do to make it work from a class library?

Hi,
I am trying to pre-compile a project prior using ASP.Net 2.0, VS 2005, to
putting it onto a live server.
The reason for doing this is that other people have access to the server,
and I thereofre want to keep the code secure.
If I use the 'Build/Publish Web Site' option, it asks me to tell it the
'Target location' which in this case is 'C:\Temp\PrecompiledWeb\Project1'

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
