the problem I am having is probably mainly because of I am very new at VB.net, anyway, the thing is, I am able to receive data from microcontroller successfully. The format of the data coming from the Microcontroller is shown below
0,2 1023,1023 1023,1023 1023,1023
1,5 1023,1023 1023,1023 1023,1023
2,8 1023,1023 1023,1023 1023,1023

I have the following code that listens to a serial port and writes the incoming data to a listview control (the serial data are a delimited string taht arrives once per second that I parse into separate listview subitems). I would like to be able to close/disconnect the serial port once a specific value in the incoming string is detected. For example, in this case one of the columns of data in the incoming string represents depth, I would like to close the serial port when the depth falls below a given number. I have tried the code below, but my program crashes on the SerialPort.CLose method.
dim m_strOBS() as string
Private Sub SerialPort_OBS_DataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) _

I am current using VS2008 to write a little app to transmit hex data via the serial port to the target device and receive back data from it and display that on a text box.
The problem i am facing is receiving "read" data "hex" back from the serial port and displaying it. I am able to send data to the target system without any problem. For example, if i send this command "&H10, &H0, &H1, &H7E, &HFF, &H49" The LEDs on the system blink 10 times and it works every time. If i send this command "&H10, &H0, &H0, &HFF, &HD" i should get 5E back and I use Realterm to verify the communication and it works great. When i use my VB app it fails, instead of getting back 5E.I get "&H35, &H45, &HD, &HA" on the buffer
Private Sub sendbutton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles sendbutton.Click
Dim send_Buffer() As Byte = {&H10, &H0, &H0, &HFF, &HD}

I am writing a program to read data from the serial port using the data received event. But, I realised that My data received event run more than 1 time when there is a data received at the com port and this actually makes my reading command reads the wrong data. The correct procedure is whenever I send a "+++" over to my device. It should responses with "OK."message.
Why the DataReceived Event will read more than 1 time?
Below is my coding for your reference.

In my serial port application, I have my code -
Private Sub SerialPort_DataReceived(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) Handles SerialPort.DataReceived
Dim cnt2 As Byte
[code]....
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 don't know why this is. I am using VB 2008.net and I am trying to receive data on the serial port.
For some reason, the following event is not executing. Here is the

Just simple as of right now for debugging purposes. I have a breakpoint at getMe and it doesn't hit it at all. I know for sure that the serial port should be receiving data as I am using RealTerm to monitor serial port input data before I run my program.

I am trying to write something through serial port to my device. Before that, I added the data received handler to read the data when the device response with some data. The problem now is how can i check the status of the data received event? I need to know when the data received event has started or has ended before I can proceed to do some other task like check if the result is successfully receive.

I'm doing a project and want to do a graphical interface using V. Studio 2010. I want to use VB.NET as a programming language.
- Do I have to add any software to define VB.net?
- What is the function that reads the data from the serial port?
- If I want to receive more than one type of data, and I want to put/read them in separate text boxes, what is the function to filter the incoming data?

I'm having trouble with parsing an XML data from serial port.Actually I need to parse it automatically after all data is received from serial port.I can display all the data in a richtextbox control and all data is received perfectly but my problem isit seems that serialdata.eof function seems like it's not firing.
here's some of my code:
Private Sub frmMain_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'set serial port properties
With COMPort
.BaudRate = 19200

what i need to know is how can i automatically parse the XML data from serial port after all data is received.

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. I've created one other sub "AppendLabel" that just updates a label.text so I can see what's happening.[code]

I have quite a bit of VB6 experience but now am trying to create my first VB.Net project. The project is very simple - it just needs to send 8-10 character strings from the PC serial port. The problem I'm seeing is that VB.Net is always sending out a 0x0A character after each 'WriteLine' call. Using VB6 it was necessary to manually send out any End Of Line characters. My application requires that no extra EOL characters be sent after the string.

I am trying to buld a DLL in VB.NET 2010 that will be use to control a vending machine.Whin a call into the DLL to a function to open and setup the comport the first time its opens it just fine, but if a call into the DLL again it does not know that the port is open even if it is still open. I can check with another program and is shows the port is open and if I try to call into the DLL again to open the port I get an error that the port is already open. Any idea how to set this up so it will work.
I need to open and config the com port in one call that leaves it open and then in other call use the com port to talk the equipment in the machine without closing the com port untill it is required to close it.

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 am using two computer to connect to each other via serial port, I have made a program in VB that allows me to read from the serial port then store whatever that character is to a variable. The only problem is I have to hit a button to read in from the serial port and pass the character to the variable. Is there any way to do this automatically?

Private Sub receive_data(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) Handles SerialPort1.DataReceived
Dim aBuffer(255) As Byte
Do While SerialPort1.BytesToRead > 0
[code]....
Basically, what I am trying to do is everytime I receive data from the serial port, I turn that data into an array (aBuffer) and I then call another sub using that info.The problem I'm having is that everytime I receive data, the array only fills up to the first 8 bytes! This isn't a problem when I receive smaller packets of 6 bytes but anything else gets chopped off.
What is really frustrating is that it seems quite fickle. I've read somewhere that this happens because the computer is handling the bytes received faster than they are being put in the buffer?? Not really sure but if I put a couple of breakpoints during debug, sometimes the array fills up correctly... Note the maximum size of any one incoming message would be 255 bytes.

This is an amateur radio project. I have a TNC (modem) that receives a digital stream (AX.25) from my radio. The TNC decodes the AX.25 frames and translates them to KISS frames (the protocol used between the TNC and the PC, see documentation here: [URL] It sends the data as HEX values.
What I'm looking for on the serial stream is the beginning of a data frame marked by 0xC0 0x00 and ending with 0xC0. Should be easy. Using serialport.readbyte() I should get binary data that I can convert to hex and look for the beginning of a data frame and then convert the subsequent data to ascii, as it will be text from a chat session.
Just to try it out and see the raw data coming from the port, I use teraterm or realterm and capture the data and it's a mix of junk (control frames and what not) and valid text. When I display the same data in a text box in VB I get data that look like this:

I have a serial port hub with 4 ports. 2 of them work perfectly and the other 2 don't.I've found out that the 2 that don't work always have CTS, CD, and DSR on/true.The 2 ports "don't work" because they aren't able to receive a response.How can I turn off CTS, CD, and DSR holding? It seems that they are ReadOnly properties.I don't know if this will help, but I've recorded a log (recorded pin values every 1 second interval) for one port that worked and another that didn't.The one that didn't work:
RTS,CTS,DTR,DSR,CD,RI,TX Total,RX Total,TX CPS,RX CPS,Break,Overrun,Parity,Framing
0,1,0,1,1,0,9,0,4,0,0,0,0,0
0,1,0,1,1,0,9,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
[code]....
As you can see, the one that doesn't work has a value of 1 in CTS, DSR, and CD at all times. Also, the one that does work was able to receive the data, which is shown by the 14.

I got an Arduino hooked up to the PC and would like to read the serial port of it. I read the serial port in Visual Basic with com.Readline, but it won't read everything. It looses around 2-3 lines that were sent over the serial port to the Visual Basic code. They get "lost".

In my project I'm trying to send data to Serial port. I have added the serial port control to the form. Now if I try to send data to serial port using Serialport1.write method in a button click event, I'm able to send the data successfully to the serial port. Otherwise if I try to send the data using the same "Write" method from another thread other than the one in which the serial port component was created, I'm getting an exception saying serial port busy.
