I have a device that communicates with the pc via a serial to usb cable. So I have made windows form with a serial communication to speak with it. The communication is every 125ms so every time it checks if the com port is open and sends the new message. The problem is that if the usb is not connected the program tries every 125 ms to connect to the serial port and the busy cursor appears always and the form is not responding to any action (for example enter into the menu or refresh a listbox). I have tried multiple times to connect and disconnect the usb while the program is running. That's mean that the serial connection stopped and started all over again several time. The problem is that occasionally it shows an error "unable to open com port".

I am using two serial port in my programm.What is want is, i need to receive data from one port and send on another port and vice a versa.This code receive data from one port but can't receive data from another port. I have tried to simulate this code by using hyper terminal and it works properly with both com port. Where as i have written code in Vb6 too and its is giving same problem as giving interupt while recieved data from one port but not giving interupt which receiving from another port. I know the another way to receive data is by using timer and read data by command as readline(), but what to do to make both the port gives interupt which receive data.Please help to find out the porblem, the code is in Vb.net and it is as under.[code]

View 1 RepliesI am trying to 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

View 1 RepliesI want to take a number such as 600 (0x0258) and send these hex values to a C-based system which is assigning char's to the received bytes and rebuilding to the original number. Currently, I am converting to bytes in VB.Net but it is not giving me the expected outcome (because of the ascii nature of the transfer most likely) [Code] I've also tried using Hex but this doesn't get the data in the correct format.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to interface an instrument that I send orders to.An order consists of 4 lines which I am to write to the serial port one at a time and receive an ACK before sending the next line.I have interfaced in the past using the MSCOMM, I'm new to the Serial Port class. But even then I've always received data, never sent anything.My question is when I'm looping through my 4 lines of my order, at what point do I receive ACK? Obviously, not in the same function, right? And how do I know I received an ACK and can go on to output the next line?

I'm trying to read data coming from a serial port. I simply want to ignore all other data besides the string "button_pushed". The device actually writes "button_pushed" to clean up the display when viewing the serial connection from console or similar. I can change this easily but I'd like to keep it if possible.
My code is as follows:
[Code]...
I'll get an IOException from readLine(). I tried using readExisting() which prevented the error but results in the block being executed twice (probably caused by the "") so the log reads "No data match" and "Data match" for one button push.I have a few questions. First, why does ReadLine cause an exception? I tried to negate that with is_closing but it still occurs. Second, will I run into problems using readExisting as it reads the entire buffer?

I try to use it in a project I am working on but somethings are not clear to me.
1: Now the send and received data is shown in one RichTextBox but I would like to split this into two RichTextBoxes (RtbSend and RtbReceived).It is unclear to me how and were data is assigned to the RichTextBox?
2. the received data is shown in the Richtextbox as one long line, I would like to get a new line for every send message.So for example: I I send "test" four times, I would like to see:
Test
Test
Test
Test
now I see: Test Test Test Test I've tried ctrlf but this does not work.The example describes that "comPort_DataReceived" is executed when data is waiting in the buffer. Where can I see the eventhandler responsible for this? How does it know data is waiting?The problem is this kind of coding is a bit to difficult for me. I want to understand the code before I implement it into my project.

I am writing the output to the port like below. AxMSComm1.Output ="Hello"
I mention the properties of the ocx control in the form load like below. AxMSComm1.CommPort = 1
AxMSComm1.Settings ="9600,N,8,1"
AxMSComm1.InputLen = 0
AxMSComm1.PortOpen =True
I searched for this error in the net.But I am not found any information for this issue.
can anybody explain why I am getting that error and how to resolve it???
