"The operation is timed out " in use with timer and reading serial buffer.I read every 50msec (timer) serial buffer and when are not data in serial buffer, then VB2008 write "The operation is timed out" and program stopped.When are data in serial buffer, then is all OK.PLEASE what can I do, when I want NOT stop program, when are not data in serial buffer.I use this code in timer:

When I push in my program button which read data from serial port, then when are here not data, it write this error which stop program:The operation has timed out.When I push in my program button to read data from serial port and when the data exists there, then is all OK...Please what can I do for eliminating this message = when are not data in serial port, then I want become NO DATA and when exists data in serial port then I write this data....Here is shorted program:
Private Sub program_Load(ByVal eventSender As System.Object, ByVal eventArgs As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

I have a quick question regarding the serial port and timer tick event. Basically i have a micro processor connected to the PC via the serial port. With a baurd rate of 38400 set.When the PC sends the micro ":K + VBCRLF" the micro response with a string of information (ASCII encoded) and delimited with a "," and at the end of the transmission a cartridge return line feed is added.Example of sent string:
"12,1134,123,545,76,6868,34,232,1,2,3,6,7,8" These numbers are then split using the VB mystring.split(",") function into an array of strings, then the numbers are converted using ctype. After which my UI is then updated.I have Witten the code in a tick timer event using a timer count of 300ms. Although the program runs and the UI is updated i end it with lots of exception errors. I think allot of this is down to the serial port either timing out or not reading complete string.Or possibly the timer has not executed all the code before another tick event happens Even after adding a few try catch statements i am still having problems. Can anybody suggest a better way of doing it?I was thinking of using a do while loop and at the end a sleep function instead of the timer tick event.I need the speed as i am trying to read and display live data.

I am using an httpWebRequest in my windows app to download files from a webserver (sURL), to a local folder (fileDestination) as such:
Public Function DownloadFile(ByVal sURL As String, _
ByVal fileDestination As String, _
ByVal WebRequestType As String) As Boolean
Dim URLReq As HttpWebRequest
Dim URLRes As HttpWebResponse

This works fine for the first few files. But then it starts giving the error:
"operation has timed out"
on the URLReq.GetResponse line.

I am trying to make my own hyper terminal. I have used the serial port component and after setting all the configuration for the com port I press the button Enable ComPORT. The problem is that, when I press the enable com port button the program goes unstable untill the reception starts from the COM port. After the reception is start the program starts working fine.

m really not sure in here because this code is for vb .net 2003.. are they the same?
I have microcontroller interfaced with serial port of my computer. In my microcontroller I have 2000 sample data and my primary target is to read those data. Now I can read those data in hyper terminal, but when it comes to my application it doesnt show anything.
Private Sub sp1_DataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) Handles sp1.DataReceived
sp1.Open()
MsgBox(sp1.ReadExisting())
End Sub
this simple code block should show me the data.But it doesnt.data format coming Microcontroller is in this following formate :
nitialization successful !,1023
Starting sampling process... 1023,1023 1023,1023
0,2 1023,1023 1023,1023 1023,1023 212,686 1023,1023 1023,1023
1,5 1023,1023 1023,1023 1023,1023,659 213,689 1023,1023 1023,1023
now, I dont understand why it doesn't read anything :NB: SP1 has a baudrate of 19200,Databits 8 and no parity,COM1 port. I aisnt sure whether I will be needing a buffer or not
This code was published a few years ago by stanav.

All these days i used to program in Vb6.0. Now since from last 15 days I have been using Vb2008. In Vb6.0 I used MSCOMM for serial communications. Here in Vb2008 I found Serial port control equivalent to it. I somehow managed to learn how to send data using serial port control and set parameters like baudrate , stopbits , etc. But I' not getting how to get the received data. In VB 6.0 we used to use comEvReceive in OnComm event and used MSCOM1.Input to get the received data. But I'm not getting how to do the same in vb2008.
View 2 RepliesI have written a sketch to an arduino board to send data to the serial port. How can I tell VB to only read from the serial port when data is sent to it? I have been using the timer.tick and tried to sink it with the delay I set in the arduino
View 2 Repliesthe program works fine but there is the possibility of a problem because this error message did pop up.I'm gathering my data bytes in an array --
dim rcvdata(19) as byte
serialport.read (rcvdata,0,20)
serialport.close
(Then decipher the array).But Should I go further with this? Could the error be related to my serialport.read?What if there were NOT 20 bytes read into the array?I think this may be it? I should poll the array for 20 bytes before proceeding?Yes? -- (It's a given and that's standard procedure).No? -- Don't worry, they're going to be there (the read will try again if it has to?) It won't proceed without the 20 bytes?

Here's the code to switch it on, to switch it off is similar (don't ask why it is like this...i think it's the transistor from the circuit board that switches the signal):

seems to be quite easy but i'm stuck I'm reading a hex string from serial port (f.e. 20FD05C4), but can't read it proper in VS:/ . I've been trying with serialPort.ReadExisting(), serialPort.Read, etc
Is there any way to just read that String or convert it easyly bin/hex ?
I've set up two computers, with a null modem serial cable. When trying the connection in two Realterm windows it works ok to send strings.I'm trying to write a simple project that sends the timestring over the same port.One button sends the timestring.

In my serial port application, I have my code -

Dim cnt2 As Byte

For some packets I sent, "Error Data Received" came up. I checked BytesReceived, it was 0. My question is: since SerialPort_DataReceived processes data received, data was supposed to be received. Why the number of bytes I read was zero? BTW, when is this event accessed? it is accessed when any number of bytes received or the whole packet received?
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.
