[2008] SerialPort Blue Screen?
Jan 22, 2009
I was attempting to clean up my serial port example that is in the code bank. I had decided to use a modem, thinking that a lot of computers still had them. By using the loopback feature of the modem I am able to simulate / emulate various features of the serial port.All was going well, and then I got a Blue Screen with this error after running for 10 minutes or so:DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUALSTOP 0x000000d1 etc.I then went back to using my GPS receiver, which sends messages constantly to a serial port. This test ran for several hours(4). It received messages correctly during the entire test.I then created a new, not as complex, version and it also receives the Blue Screen. I have made sure that the modem drivers are up to date, searched for the error, etc. My gut is telling me that it is the modem driver. I have attached the project. This is the scaled back version, but it uses the same functionality.

When i run the debugging tool for visual basic my computer crashes (Blue screen). it's rather constant with the VB forms, even ones without code at all... Any help on the matter? All the forms were originally built on this computer but don't work any more, they however work fine on other computers so it has to be my computer.

Using this code, before I added the funky "abort" button code - stopping it using the Stop Debugging button in the IDE blue screened my computer every time, PROCESS_HAS_LOCKED_PAGES - Anyone care to try it ? Win7 Ultimate , VS2010 SP1. This machine has never blue screened since it was built. Code is by no means exotic in any way.

Dim Abort As Boolean = False
Private BStart As New Button

I am developing a simple application in VB10 that uses ADO.net to store data in an Access database, and gets input via a serial port RS232. It works well, but is not fully debugged. Unfortunately, a problem has recently started where as soon as i close the program I get a blue screen. Makes it hard to debug. The solution does not even have to have run; it just has to have been loaded and then exit VB10. The blue screen aslo happens to most of the other example solutions that I have downloaded.
Questions:
1)How do you capture the STOP error codes (probably stupid question)?
2) Is there an easy solution that rings a bell? My IT support is trying but not getting anywhere. Have to believe it is hardware related, but the hard drive checks out with testing.

I have wrote this program (for PDA), to connect a PDA to the PC via RS232.It only works half way.
If I send anything from the pda to the pc, I receive data correctly.If I send anything from the pc, then the pda hangs up.Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Also, how do I make sure the port on PDA is closed when quitting the application?

I am trying to access a printer via the serial port in VB Express 2008. I wrote a small prog with buttons on the form to exercise the escape codes in a Windows Vista 32 laptop with a USB to serial adapter. Only 3 codes worked, BEL, reset and a printer specific command. Also, when i try to receive data, it justs times out. So, I tried to move to a WinXP machine with real serial ports. The program now has an illegal argument exception and the message is to the effect that the name of the port for the property portName does not start with COM/com. Which is very puzzling because I did verify the portname and it is com1.Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong? The form works on Vista but not in XP.

I am trying to send and receive data using the SerialPort component. I am sending data to an Texas Instruments MSP430 which simply echos the sent character. I wanted my VB solution to read characters from a file, send a single character, and wait until the echoed character is received before sending another.
I have been fairly successful thus far but I have run into a little catch. When I attempt to send large files (323505+ characters) my MSP430 just hangs there and will not receive any more characters. My VB app return to VS '08 with timeout errors (timeout set to 1 minute).
I wanted to post my VB code here to see if the problem is from my VB app. I will be posting this problem on the IT usergroup to sort out anything on the MCU end. Here is the pastbin of the data write and the data receive subs:[URl]..

My program has been running fine for months and still is, but I now have this warning, (which must have shown up since upgrading to VB2008 from 2005 a month ago).
It regards the serial port encoding setup and reads as follows -- serialport1.Encoding = encoding.GetEncoding(1252) 'for char > 127
Warning 1Access of shared member, constant member, enum member or nested type through an instance; qualifying expression will not be evaluated. Perhaps there was an update on this with 2008 and it's now redundant or something?

I want to use IO.ports.serialport to receive ASCII data from an instrument (A Luxmeter for those interested). So far, i've been unable to read any single byte from the instrument using the IO.ports.serialport.A terminal window shows the datastream just fine, and I've used MScommlib to read the data without problems. I just had other problems with the latter, so I thought I'd give this IO.ports.serialport a try.The code runs fine, no errors. It just doesn't receive anything.Bytestoread stays 0 forever.I distilled the code to it's bare essence. What am I missing? Is it something obvious, or did I completely misunderstand the whole concept? (Which is not unlikely..)I did check the obvious, of course: settings, baudrate, cable is connected, instrument is sending, etc.[code]

I need to create some serial port controlls manually. My program reads through a config file, and it if comes across an entry called COMPORT then I need to create a contol to talk to this port. The entries in the ini file might be
COMPORT=COM1
COMPORT=COM3
COMPORT=COM7
So here is my problem! I'd like to create the variable control name with part of the com port number, so I can always refer back to it.
EG.
Dim strVar as sring = "COM1"
Dim CName+strVar As New System.IO.Ports.SerialPort

I have this sample code...
Private Sub DataReceived( _
ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) _
[code]....
this displays in a text box the received data from a serial port. And it works like a charm but the data received has custom start and end of line characters. A line begins with chr(&H2) and ends with chr(&H3). What i want is on the text box those characters to be hidden and the chr(&H3) to start a new line.

I send a message a while ago and no one answerd, how can I draw directly on the screen (not on a specific window) just on the screen, neither if it's on the desktop or anything else.Is there is any option to bring up the switch between applications window (Alt + Tab), I don't want to use sendkeys because the user need to keep the key down and I just want the user to select the application with his mouse.

I have a program that reads data from a scanner via the serial port.This program works fine on Windows XP.We have a terminal server set up running Windows Server 2008.I run HyperTerminal on our test terminal, it connects and reads the scanner data fine through COM1.I run my app on that same test terminal and get nothing when I scan.My app connects to COM1 without errors and disconnects without errors.BUT, the DataRecieved event is NEVER getting fired.Neither is the ErrorReceived event.I have played with the Handshaking, with the RecievedBytesThreshhold and pretty much every setup setting I found.Set it up exactly like the settings on Hyperterminal.I have even tried starting a timer on a different thread to call ReadByte every second to try to KICK this thing into doing SOMETHING.Nothing has worked.
I have been trying to fix this for an entire day now.Added events to my class trying to see EVERYTHING that is going on. All I know is, it connects to the port and it disconnects from the port correctly but nothing happens in between.No data when I scan.No event fired at all between connecting to and disconnecting from the port.I have also downloaded other's simple serial communications applications.Nothing in .NET works.[code]

I have a button btnRegEx that when pressed shows a ContextMenuStrip, similar to the '>' button in the Find/Replace dialog in Visual Studio when you are using Regular Expressions. I have a ContextMenuStrip cms which I show using its Show(x,y) method.
At first I was simply setting x and y (the location of the ContextMenuStrip) to some point next to the button, but I noticed that when the button is close to the edge of the screen it goes off screen. I wanted to prevent that so I built some logic into the x-y calculation. When the ContextMenuStrip width is larger than the 'remaining space left' I simply show it more to the left. Same for its Height of course. I am using the Screen.GetWorkingArea(point) method to determine the 'remaining space left'. As I understand it, it returns the working area closest to the point you specify (to which I pass the button's location).
As long as I stay on my first monitor, it is all working perfectly fine. The problem occurs when I move the form to my second monitor. The contextmenustrip is still showing on the first monitor for some reason...
Here is the code I am using:
vb.net Private Sub btnRegEx_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnRegEx.Click
Dim p As Point = PointToScreen(New Point(btnRegEx.Left, btnRegEx.Top))
Dim x, y As Integer
[CODE]...
I have noticed that when I click the button when the form is on the second monitor, the buttons location (p) is calculated with the first monitor's top-left corner as (0,0), even though it is on the second monitor. This way, the GetWorkingArea function returns something like 1280, while the buttons x-location is something like 1700... So, how do I get the buttons coordinate relative to the actual screen it is on, rather than the entire dual monitor screens as a whole?

BTW this issue occurs in any MS office program when the VB.Net (or even VBA) is processing information.Example: In Excel, a worksheet is displayed on the screen. I start either, a VB.Net or VBA procedure and within 30 seconds the Excel worksheet (previously displayed) blanks out. In both VB.Net and VBA,ScreenUpdating = False. My expectation is that the previously displayed screen would stay static as if I left my desk to get a cup of coffee; came back and the same ole Excel worksheet was still there?Of course, setting VBA Screen Updating = False accomplishes two goals: 1) speeds up processing and 2) saves the user from seeing unnecessary "garbage-processing" steps.Why does VBA or VB.Net ScreenUpdating = False not freeze the screen at the time of its invoking?

Provided the following
vb.net Private Function isBlue(ByVal aRGB As Color) As Integer
If aRGB.R < 30 And aRGB.G < 30 And aRGB.B > 170 Then
[CODE]....
I use it with the following:
vb.net Dim count As Integer = 0
Dim img3 As New Bitmap(DirectCast(CameraTable.Controls("camera" & z.ToString), PictureBox).Image)
For x As Integer = 10 To 16
Works great. Takes a small square and tests for the blue color indicated by the aRGB value.
What I am trying to do now is test for all Black (as opposed to blue). I want to copy that isBlue Sub to a "isBlack" Sub and perform a like test, but I do not know what to use for this part:
If aRGB.R < 30 And aRGB.G < 30 And aRGB.B > 170 Then explain those values and what changes to each one does?
I've edited the code some:
vb.net Dim bluepixels As Integer = 0
Dim blackpixels As Integer = 0
Dim img3 As New Bitmap(DirectCast(CameraTable.Controls("camera" & z.ToString), PictureBox).Image)
[CODE]...
And in the sub I am testing for an R, G, and B value less than 3 (black should be all 0's) I'm still interested in how to manipulate those RGB values to test for other colors, or very specific hex colors.
