[2005] Serial Port Genius Wanted?
Jan 13, 2009
My app runs perfectly with debug but I'm having a couple of little problems with the actual build on another machine.'m getting a "safe handle has been closed" (most of the time, but not all the time) when I button click out of a certain area.The problem, no doubt, is related to the serial port and I think I can solve it but I do want to ask something very basic....I have several points in the code where I'm doing a serialport.open and serialport.close....and clearing some registers etc.....like I say, in debug all is well.

I write program for Windows CE that should work with Serial ports. I use object System.IO.Ports.SerialPort. Everything works well but when I close program and open it again, I receive error: Port is in use! At the end I write:
port.close()
port.dispose()
And If I add this:System.GC.collect() than everything begins to work But problem is that computer gets stuck when garbage collector is called for each port. If I tried to use collector somewhere else, it doesnt "collect" ports and they look like used if program starts again.

I am having trouble running a VB.NET 2.0 Serial Port application in Windows 7. I developed it in Windows XP, it ran fine in Windows 2000 and now when the company upgraded the machines to Windows 7, the application does not kick off. All platforms were/are 32-bit. I did some research online, but have not found anything relevant to resolve my issue. Does anyone know what the issue might be and the possible solution to it?

I have a stand alone VB.Net 2005 application that uses a serial port that generally stays open while the application runs on a Windows XP system. In trying to bullet-proof the UI, I ran into a problem when the USB to Serial Converter normally used to provide the serial port is disconnected while the serial port is open. In trying to handle the resulting error when accessing the port, I find I cannot close the port.
When trying to do so, the error message says something like "unable to close the port. You may not have sufficient permissions." Reconnecting the USB/Serial Converter does not reactivate the port.

If I uninstall the COM1 and reboot, it works. If I shut down (power off) and restart, I get the message below. If I uninstall then click on Scan for Hardware Changes,The given port name does not start with COM/com or does not resolve to a valid serial port. Parameter name:portName

Im having problem with the Serial Port. When i run my program, "Access to the port 'COM1' is denied". What does that mean? Im not sure whats happening because theres no error in my code. Someone suggest me to use 'COM2'. Which is also the same result. I have a microcontroller, programmed and run it. And i need to capture the data onto my vb, which is on a multiline textbox. How to i do that?Just to double check my code?

For my application a need to set a breakstate on/off of 25ms.In Xp this runs fine when I set breakstate=true and wait for 25ms and then breakstate= false and wait 25ms.In CE6.0 when I set breakstate = true, it only throws a puls.It is even not possible to keep breakstate on.
how to solve this or is there an alternative to simulate a breakstate?

For many years, I have sent data between 2 computers using serial ports."Here is the data", "Thank you for that data!" type stuff.Where do I get more information for doing the same thing with 2 computers that are networked together? Assume a local ethernet connection.I have experimented with serial-ethernet modems and that works well but I don't want any more hardware.Is there a good thread here I should read?I want 2 VB programs running and I want to exchange data periodically.

I am developing a UI for an embedded device that I have designed and built. The device uses an FT232 chip which, when connected via USB is automatically assigned one of the COM ports. I was wondering if there is a way to set up a loop which would automatically detect which COM port the device has been assigned. I could then add some handshaking to verify that the port is correct.

I am trying to interface with a Sylvac Gage over the Serial Port, but I can not get read any information sent by the gage.I am using the IO.Ports.SerialPort Object (called serialPort), and I can successfully write to the device. I can tell it to turn off by: serialPort.Write("off" & vbCrLf)But I can't seem to get any information back from the Gauge when I ask it to send information serialPort.Write("?" & vbCrLf)
