View 8 RepliesI am trying to send and receive packets over the LAN (i.e. NIC port) using VB.NET. I found some code that uses Socket wrench, but problem with such solutions is that users will need to install extra drivers and all which I do not want. I am looking to use drivers native to the .NET environment to send and receive packets through the LAN port. My windows forms application is in VB.NETneil
View 1 RepliesI am looking to send and receive packets from the LAN port using some kind of WIndows Native object so that the user of my Windows Forms control does not have to install any third party software.[For example, for Serial port I use MSComm, i want to know what I can use for LAN port?]

I will be using .Net to communicate with a small unit that outputs data via a serial port. I have used an application that monitors the data between an application and this little box. What I see is functions such as IRP_MJ_CREATE, IRP_MJ_READ, etc. At first I thought I needed to build functions and I would send these via the serial port (a novice thought) now I see that the above functions are part of the Windows Driver Kit. So is it true that I call these functions in my code and then the underlying drivers communicate to the serial port and the approppriate data is seen at the serial port. So for .Net (VB) I need to find and use the appropriate functions and communicate to the serial port.
View 1 RepliesI have developed a microprocessor based devise. It can communicate with laptop through RS232 as a VB application. Now most of laptops have USB port only. So I want to use USB replacing RS232 port on laptop side but not change anything on the device side. Can I do this using a USB-RS232 converter? How to change the VB software?

I have am using an XBee ZigBee wireless module to communicate with a project of mine. I currently have it set up to the point where I can open a hyperterminal session to COM 4 (which is the usb com port), and recieve the data that is being sent via the microcontroller on the other side of the wireless link.
I would like to make an app that takes the data and puts it in to a more user-readable format. (Via VB 2005) So far all I have come up with is some problems. It doesn't seem like I can use the built in serial port tool to access a "virtual" com port. From the following link:Quote:
Note You cannot use the Microsoft .NET Framework classes to directly access other types of ports, such as parallel ports or USB ports.[URL]..Do I have to use a "COM port redirector" to make it seem like a real COM port? Or is there some easy way that I am not thinking of?
I have used a third party component to download a file from my FTP server. One user has advised that their antivirus software (ESET) is blocking it. How can I determine which port it's using so that they can exempt it?

I have been doing some research into accessing devices on a USB port and it's kind of helped, but not really. From what I understand, I can use the IO.Port namespace to access a device on a USB port (usually). Let me know if this is incorrect.
First, I made a simple program that looped through the ports available. I get COM1 and COM3, but I have 4 USB ports. Where are the others?

I write program for Windows CE that should work with Serial ports. I use object System.IO.Ports.SerialPort. Everything works well but when I close program and open it again, I receive error: Port is in use! At the end I write:
port.close()
port.dispose()
And If I add this:System.GC.collect() than everything begins to work But problem is that computer gets stuck when garbage collector is called for each port. If I tried to use collector somewhere else, it doesnt "collect" ports and they look like used if program starts again.
I have a problem with my program. i can't read any data from serial port. when i click on open the rs232 has to read but it doesn't.i use the program in a pdf(ADAM-4000_Ed-15).[code]

My app runs perfectly with debug but I'm having a couple of little problems with the actual build on another machine.'m getting a "safe handle has been closed" (most of the time, but not all the time) when I button click out of a certain area.The problem, no doubt, is related to the serial port and I think I can solve it but I do want to ask something very basic....I have several points in the code where I'm doing a serialport.open and serialport.close....and clearing some registers etc.....like I say, in debug all is well.
View 4 RepliesI'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.

I am having trouble running a VB.NET 2.0 Serial Port application in Windows 7. I developed it in Windows XP, it ran fine in Windows 2000 and now when the company upgraded the machines to Windows 7, the application does not kick off. All platforms were/are 32-bit. I did some research online, but have not found anything relevant to resolve my issue. Does anyone know what the issue might be and the possible solution to it?

I wish to communicate over usb in vb.net i realize i might need to use openfile windows api or createfile windows api but im doing a generic mouse driver which should be miles simpler to do since microsoft and usb.org already have the report descriptors available so all i want to do is just send data to the device directly using my program.
