im currently working on a program which prints serial text to an aplication like note pad. the problem im having is that i cant figure out how to change which serial comport is being used in code. i want the user to chose the comport with a check box.keep in mind that COM1 in my code is what i called my check box. here is my curent code:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub OpenFileDialog1_FileOk(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles OpenFileDialog1.FileOk
Shell(OpenFileDialog1.FileName, 1)

I have a program which will read data from comport when ever there is data on comport. I am using Comport.DataReceived event to do that.My program will receive data very frequently and it is working fine. The problem is, it will work for 3 to 4 days fine but after that my receive data will slow down. I am receiving data with high delay (about 10-15 min).There will be continuous data to my comport.

I would like to ask about sending an image file through serial port to a external embedded processor....
the way i think i want to do it is that i would like to open the image file in VB.NET as a binary file and then
1)either converting this binary file to a text file and then read the content of that text file to sent it through UART to that external processor or
2)Converting the binary file into an array and send that array through uart.[code]...

I have a USB gadget that appears to Windows as a USB serial port, there is no special driver.I know the USB Vendor ID, and the USB Product ID, I need 1 or 2 functions:
First: IsThisUsbDevicePresent( Vendor_ID, Product_ID )
Second: Some means of transforming the above into "COM1" or "COM9" or what ever it is so I can call it. And that- should be doable from VB...

I am having trouble sending data to a comport..... I am a noob at this and have been doing my head in... I have done a fair bit to a few programs that I have on the go, but am stuck at sending some data to the comport...
I have in form1 put the serial port contol and added SerialPort1.Open() to that. I have then added 3 buttons that I was to use to send data to the port... Since this is for a radio scanner the buttons turn the backlight on / dim and off.....
LTN is used to turn the light on and works fine in hyperterminal.. I have got the port settings right in vs2008 but the code is wrong.
I have:
code:
Then I get warning of Name 'LTN' is not declared...

I'm trying to communicate through a serial port with separate subroutines for establishing the connection to the device and handling routine messages. I'm able to establish the connection, but reference to the COMPort in another subroutine fails with a message that the port is closed. I can successfully communicate using COMPort.Write commands within the connection subroutine, so I know that works. How do I pass a reference for the comport to other subroutines?

Public Class my_class Dim WithEvents COMPort As New System.IO.Ports.SerialPort
Public Sub FindReader()
Dim ports As String() = IO.Ports.SerialPort.GetPortNames()
Dim port As String
For Each port In ports
[Code3]...
When it runs, it shows a single COM port "COM1". I am assured that the device attached to it is a standard 8,n,1 and uses 9,600 baud. The exception is "Acess to the port 'COM1' is denied".

I am programming in visual basic 2008 I would like to set up serial numebers for software im developing. I would like to prevent software theft by ensuring that each purchased copy has a unique serial number that can only be used once. How would i create this so
a.) The serial numeber can only be used once
b.) The software cannot run without a correct serial number
c.) The serial number verification box pops up on ONLY the first use of the program and goes away after correct serial number is entered
d.) a serial number generation and verification program

I've seen this great example of serial communication in VB.NET
[URL]
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'm getting familiar now with using the Dataset Designer and how it makes for quick and easy updates and query of tables. I use to use the OleDB commands and leave the Connection String as a Global Constant so I can easily change it if the server name changes, or if we have to re-direct the .NET to another instance of the database.
But now that I use the Dataset designer I'm concerned that I maintain flexibility and support in the long run. how the Dataset designer works and where it stores it's connection string info? And how difficult that would be to update. It looks like I modify the App.config file, but I'm unfamiliar with this.
What am I getting myself into? It looks like a standard XML file. Is that it?

The vb.net code is functioning correctly as it talks to a device through COM1 serial port.What I was hoping was the equivalent c# code is not creating the same string and as a result, the serial 'packet' is not correct. Check this illustration of my problem [URL]...
My goal is to eliminate the addition of the extra characters '/0' and '/b' that what I hoped was the c# equivalent to the correctly functioning vb.net code. It just occurred to me I should change the code to employ Stringbuilder. The 'packetbuilder' method/function builds a string and keeps concatenating things to itself.

I have a code in VB that looks like this:'Server.Transfer(txtUser.Text + "_page.aspx")which is taking a forms authenticated user to their page. For example if John logs in, it will take him to john_page.aspx.How will I be able to integrate this in a PHP login script?I'm trying something like:header("location: $member ._page.php");but I don't think I'm doing this correctly.

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.
