How To Open Virtual Serial Port
Feb 25, 2009I wrote a program that uses the following class from that site: VB.NET Tutorials - Serial Port Communication In VB.Net. The problem is that I cannot open a virtual serial port, and the second is that I want to make the communication asynchronous.
This is the subroutine which reads from the port:
#Region "comPort_DataReceived"
''' <summary>
''' method that will be called when theres data waiting in the buffer
''' </summary>
''' <param name="sender"></param>

Communications :: Setup A Virtual Serial Port
Jul 4, 2008I'm writing an app with takes 3 readings off LCD displays via serial ports. The module which scans the serial ports is getting stuck in a loop for around 1.5 seconds. I need it to be much quicker than that. Is there a way I can setup a virtual serial port so I can run test it on my PC. Its very tedious and time consuming of making changes and visiting the machine its for.

Unable To Close Serial Port After USB / Serial Converter Disconnected
Mar 28, 2006I 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.

View 8 RepliesVirtual COM Port Fails To Open?
Jan 10, 2011I have a few USB devices that use standard Microsoft Virtual COM Port drivers. More specifically, I believe they use the "Usbser.sys" driver. Whenever I plug my USB devices in, they always shows up in the Device Manager as a COM port, however, sometimes I am unable to open that COM port. This problem occurs on both Windows XP SP3 and windows 7 machines (The only operating systems I have tested this on).
To be a little clearer, I can plug my USB device in, and then successfully open the COM port. I unplug my USB device, then plug it back in, and I am unable to open the COM port. The only solution to this problem is to restart my PC. Is there any solution in VB.net to reset any entrees made to the Windows system when the USB device is plugged in? Has anyone come across this problem and resolved it via a VB.Net solution?
[2008] Opening A Virtual Com Port?
Jan 23, 2011I need to communicate with a BlackBerry cell phone, so that I can query the current signal strength using Hayes AT commands, and store is into a file, along with my current GPS position.
I already got it to work perfectly using HyperTerminal:
- I installed BlackBerry Desktop Manager and I leave it running on the PC (otherwise it does not work!)
- I connect my BlackBerry Bold cell phone to the PC using a USB cable.
-The cell phone appears on the PC as a Virtual Com port, in my case it shows up as "COM13".
- I open HyperTerminal and connect to COM13 at 115200 bauds, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, hardware flow control
- If I type "AT" + ENTER, the phone answers "OK"
- If I type "ATI1" + ENTER, the phone answers with its model number "Platform: X.X.X.X, App version: X.X.X.X, PIN: XXXXXXXX"
- If I type "AT+CSQ" + ENTER, the phone answers with the current signal quality value "+CSQ: 21,99".
In theory it should be a piece of cake to query my phone using a serial port routine in VB.NET. The problem I have is that VB.NET allows me to read data from a REAL COM PORT, but refuses to read anything from a VIRTUAL COM PORT. When opening "COM13", I get "The given port name does not start with COM/com or does not resolve to a valid serial port. Parameter name: portName".
I did a lot a searching on Virtual Com Port on the WEB, but everything I see allows me to create a virtual com port. I only want to read an existing VIRTUAL COM PORT, not create a new one.So, I do I actually open a VIRTUAL SERIAL PORT, so that I can send the "AT+CSQ" command and receive my cell phone signal strength value using VB.NET?
Read Data Through The Virtual COM Port Created By Bluetooth?
Oct 25, 2010Trying to read data through the virtual COM port created by bluetooth.
The original console program (and the trimmed version below) was designed to read data from serial port COM1 and output the data to notepad. The program works; hook the bar code reader to COM1, activate bar code reader, swipe card, bar code reader beeps, data input collected from COM1 and sent out to notepad.
The problem: Bluetooth is wanted instead of serial cable.
We disconnected the serial cable, we connected a USB bluetooth receiving device onto the XP. XP installed the bluetooth device drivers 'Generic Bluetooth Radio' and 'MS Bluetooth Enumerator'. Bluetooth detected the bar code reader device and created COM5 outgoing SPP slave and created COM6 incoming.
But now; activate bar code reader, swipe card, bar code reader beeps, NO data input collected from COM5.

SerialPort Escape String - Retrieving Data From A Device Connected To A Virtual Com-port
Aug 13, 2010I am writing a small app that is retrieving data from a device connected to a virtual com-port. I connect without problems to the device using the settings 9600-8-N-1.
I need to send the command <esc>MS , the device then sends back the data to a computer. I have tried this using Hyperterminal with success. I also did this with Excel and VBA. I used the MSComm32 Active X control:
MSComm1.Output = Chr$(27) + "M" + "S" + Chr$(13)
Msgbox(MSComm1.Input)
This made the data from the device pop up in a messagebox. I am writing a winforms app in vb.net, using VS2005. I have a form, on which I have a Placed a SerialPort control, named sp. My sample code is as follows:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal
sender As System.Object,
ByVal e
[CODE]...
This returns the error message "Error: expecting a command". I have done som tests in HyperTerminal, and have concluded with:
-If I dont send <esc>, I get error "Expecting a command"
-If I send wrong command (ie MD instead of MS) i get error "Bad command"
Based on this, I suspect that I don't pass the escape character correctly to my device. So I wonder how to do this?

Detecting A Serial COM Port?
Nov 9, 2009I 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.
