Error Compiling Code For Working With A Comm Port

Apr 8, 2010

I did a search for "How do I implement Serial COM Port communications? and found a response by Xiaoyun Li which was last posted on April 10, 2009. Xiaoyun's response included sample code. My intent has been to get a clean compile on the sample code, then test it, then expand the code into a real application. I am down to a single error message, which I can't figure out how to resolve: "Method 'Public Sub DoUpdate()' does not have a signature compatible with delegate 'Delegate Sub EventHandler(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs)'." [code]I marked where the error occurs in the code with *** to the right of the error line.The code is attached to a simple form, Form1 which contains a single text box, TextBox1.It appears to me that the code needs a Delegate statement, but I can't figure out how to code it or where to put it.d.

Comm Port And HEX Data

Jan 27, 2010

Basically I need to send the hex command FA through a COM port.

I have added the com port and set the baud etc and all seems to be working well there. I am just a little unsure how to send the correct hexadecimal command. For example,

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
SerialPort1.Open()

Hooking The Comm Port (RS232)?

Nov 2, 2011

I currently have software that sends out plain text(i.e. 'X') to comm 1 port and was wondering if there was any way to capture that plain text and also respond to that port on the same compute as the port without having anything plugged into the machine (i.e. 9 pin serial cable). I am trying to avoid buy any more hardware as this is an objective to acutally cut down on hardware.

Proper Syntax For Comm Port Comunication

Dec 31, 2009

Now I know whats going to happen, I will post a request for code syntax and one of the admins is going to say that I need to post the code I already have. The code I already have is irrelevant to what i wish to do. So, continuing on; I have a micro controller that i wish to send commands to it in HEX data type. Communication is via the serial port RS232. (well technically its through the USB to serial converter)Steps:

1) Sending a "001" tells the micro controller to await instructions as to what to set the duty cycle to

2) The data that follows i.e." 050, 010, 185 " will be added to 400 (by the micro controller) to come up with a duty cycle based on a 10 bit resolution of 0-1024. I am only going to be using the range of 401- ~500.

I can communicate with the micro controller via hyper terminal. Using the Alt + #keys method I can transmit data to the micro controller, and this is what i with to do with vb.net.[code]

[2005] UnauthorizedAccessException Accessing Comm Port

May 3, 2006

I'm debugging a VB app where I'm using a comm port attached to a bluetooth radio paired to another bluetooth radio in order to communicate with a remote barcode scanner. The pair of bluetoooth devices basically work as a serial cable replacement. Sometimes it works fine, but after a while I get an UnauthorizedAccessException message which breaks the program (see attached jpeg).

I only get this when I use the radios and not when I use a direct cable. I wonder if it has something to do with other bluetooth devices nearby trying to communicate with mine. I've used the .NET Framework 2.0 Confuration tool to adjust the zone security to give full trust to MyComputer, so I don't think it has to do with security, but I'm really going beyond my area of expertise here. I don't know what's going on.

Getting Scale Values From A Comm Port Into A Richtextbox Control?

Apr 13, 2012

I am getting scale values from a comm port into a richtextbox control, now as long as the connections and the scale is working great scale readings continuously flow into the control all the time, however when the connections or the scale is turned of the label that displays the weight will give a message saying error.

After 5 seconds I want to be able to give the operator the choice to take scale readings manually. This is my code so far.

Private Sub tmScaleTimer_Tick(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles tmScaleTimer.Tick
If rtbDisplay.Text.Length = i Then

Catching And Removing Escape Characters In A Serial Comm Port Program?

May 18, 2010

I have recently developed a serial port communication program to access my hardware firewall and its connected to the device via a converter usb to rs232head plugged to a rs232 to an ethernet cable. this ethernet cable then plugs into the device console port.

my program functions similar to that of TeraTerm. an opensource hyperterminal program written in C++ but i decided to do one for vb.net

Alright to cut the story short, i have successfully coded out the program to accept incomming data from the device but however, i'm also receiving ansi escape sequence along with it and i have no idea how i could implement codes to remove these. i have spend 3 weeks trying to look for vt100 emulation codes written in vb.net but i found none so far. most are written in c++. here's an image to illustrate the problem which im facing.

The image below is a screenshot taken when the i ran both the programs together. The bottom is tera term 3.1 and the top is my vb project which i made using msdn's example and improved on the codes. basically tera term was able to interpret those escape sequence and display accordingly to that of the vt100 terminal display. I have spent time reading on regular expressions using the inbuilt function regex in visual basic and tried parsing some strings but its not working. i guess its far more complex than i thought.

Compiling Error 'The Value "Ctrl" Can't Be Found' While Compiling VB2008 Imported Project

Feb 15, 2010

In one of my forms witch I imported from VB2008 there are all properties saved in the *.resx file. One Property, of the Type System.Windows.Forms.Keys, can contain the Value 'Ctrl+F1' witch compiles fine in VB2008, but not in VB2010. To reproduce, simply add the following to any resx file:

<data name="cmdFenster.ShortcutKeys" type="System.Windows.Forms.Keys, System.Windows.Forms">
<value>Ctrl+F1</value>
</data>

It will compile fine with VB2008, but not with VB2010. Notice: The VB2010 also generates this Code in the resx file

VB 2003 - Handling Data - Transmitting Data From A Comm Device Via Serial Port

Nov 10, 2009

I'm currently working on a project where I am transmitting data from a comm device via the serial port and resorting the raw data (in binary) to its respective ascii values. The problem I'm facing is determining the most efficient method to accomplish my goal. Essentially, I have 68 bytes coming in, the first and second bytes represent the page and packet number and the data itself ranges from 3 to 64, the remaining for my checksum.

What I am needing to do is, grab 50 consecutive bytes per variable in my array, and that is where I'm confused. I have easily pulled my 3-64 bytes and stored that data to a string. I just don't know the most efficient method to accomplish my goal. Should I write directly to file all my data, as there are like 8 pages, of 128 packet data. [Code] I can capture the the first 50 by using a for-loop easily, but what would be the preferred method to track what data chunk I've taken? The more I think about it, I think I may just want to write to file, all my data, and then just take them back to back in 50 byte chunks. Is that the most efficient method?

Compiling To Machine Code?

Apr 23, 2011

After reading a couple of tutorials, it seems that basically NET works quite like java. All the IDE's produce an intermediate code that I have to distribute, and which NET compiles at runtime to machine code and then executes it. Leaving aside the question why so when NET works only on Windows platforms, I have some other more practical questions:Is it possible to directly compile to machine code targeted at specific platform like XP 32-bit or Win7 64-bit?

Programmatically Compiling Code From Within A VB Project

I've been using this article [URL]to add into my code the ability to compile code a user enters into a text box. I was wondering if anyone knows a way that I can pass in a variable that exists in yhe program that I have written. So the idea is in my program I have a variable, let's say a filename, that is used. The user of my program is writing their own program in a text box. When I compile the program they have written I want to be able to pass the filename from my program into theirs.

VS 2008 Compiling Code Programmatically

May 3, 2012

I wanted to provide programming support for an application I made. So I used System.CodeDom compiler and it allows me to execute vb.net code on the fly.The way it works is :

- I call the engine and pass references and code that it needs to run
- The code is able to access public subs
- results are obtained after processing completes.

[code]I want that if the code is being executed by user on seperate threads at the same time then their values should be independant. Right now this is not possible as module has been used and not classes.What I want is -> create object of class RunCode, it runs user code and returns. Thus the age variable in class runcode is not tampered with if at the same time another code is executed. But for that module module1 has to be a class also and how can user call Age sub if its a class. I mean user should be able to call all subs/functions by name and it should work like it was working right now.

Compiling And Running Code Dynamically / Exposing Objects From App

VS 2008 - Adding References While Dynamically Compiling Code

Jan 27, 2010

I am using CompilerParameters to dynamically compile code... The problem is when I use:
cp.ReferencedAssemblies.Add(CompilerPath & "est.exe")
to add a reference to test exe ... (where CompilerPath is the full path name)
Compiler Path is not the Compiler Application Path

I get an error when compiling stating that:
vb
"Could not load file or assembly 'test, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."
If I put it in the test.dll in the "compiler apps" path and then call ReferencedAssemblies.Add with the full path it works.

Compiling And Running .NET Code Dynamically - ReferencedAssemblies Vs Imports Statements?

Jul 19, 2011

I'm not sure I understand the point of CompilerParameters.ReferencedAssemblies. I thought they could be used in place of using Imports statements.I'm obviously wrong because even if I set CompilerParameters.ReferencedAssemblies.AddRange( {"System.dll", "Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll"}) I still need to use Imports System and Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic in the script for it to work.

Are the Imports used only so that I can use MsgBox() instead of Microsoft.VisualBasic.MsgBox()?What if my script "Imports Something.OrAnother" from an assembly called Something.OrAnother.dll. Do I need to scan the script looking for all of the Imports statements and then add them (plus ".dll") to the CompilerParameters.ReferencedAssemblies before compiling?

Get Serial Port Communication Working Between Two PC's?

My environment is: XP SP3, 9 pin serial ports on both ends, connected by a null modem cable, Visual Basic 2010 Express.

I have a sending routine and a receiving routine, both based on the on line documentation.

There are no Errors, Warnings or messages.

Problem: The receiving machine shows no sign of receiving a message sent by the sending PC. I have tried making the sending PC into the receiving PC - makes no difference.

My sending routine looks like this:

'Send string to serial port
Using com1 As IO.Ports.SerialPort = My.Computer.Ports.OpenSerialPort("COM1", 9600, Parity.None, 8, StopBits.One)
