Visual Studio.Net 2003 and Serial Port

[marker]

Please somebody give me good reference about Visual Studio.Net 2003 and Serial port programming. I am using Visual C#.

I would like to connect to Serial port from C# and read required data.

Thank you very much in advance

I'd advise you wait for 6 months and use the new class to do serial communications in .NET 2.0.

Otherwise look at all the literature available for serial communications in C++. You'll have to write your own interop to do this.

I also remember reading something to do with this very subject on MSDN. Search on serial and Interop - it might bring up something for you.

the company I work for does a lot (its pretty much all we do) of network programming. we do serial port communication in C#. the copyright headers on the source code say its from microsoft. I dont know where it came from, but knowing our shop, most likely microsoft's posted the source code somewhere online and thats where they got it.

a quick google of "Purpose: SerialPort wraps an internal SerialStream class," (which is directly from the source code from microsoft) brings up some actual samples in C# that should get you going.

Go to this site:

Download the JustinIO.zip file. This is an excellent and simple wrapper class of accessing Serial ports.


All praise go's to Justin Harrell.
