.net - Can't This Code Open A Serial Port?

Sep 1, 2010

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".

How To Open Virtual Serial Port

Feb 25, 2009

I wrote a program that uses the following class from that site: VB.NET Tutorials - Serial Port Communication In VB.Net. The problem is that I cannot open a virtual serial port, and the second is that I want to make the communication asynchronous.

This is the subroutine which reads from the port:
#Region "comPort_DataReceived"
''' <summary>
''' method that will be called when theres data waiting in the buffer
''' </summary>
''' <param name="sender"></param>

Serial Port Checking If Open

Jul 20, 2010

In VB6 I had to always check if the port was open or not. But with VB.NET and the new Serial Port control I don't see any.If SerailPort1.Open then statements. In fact when I tried to use the code I got Expression does not produce a value.So does this mean that we no longer have to check to make sure the port closed?Is there a way to check if the port is open or not?

Cant Close Form With Serial Port Open?

Jul 8, 2008

I have a programme that accepts data from a serial port. If I close the port and then the form no problem. However if I try to close the form with out closing the port it appears to hang. I have tried closing the port in the forms close event but this did not solve the problem.The data recieved event is as below and UseData is the private sub which actually handles the data. Usedata contains the code line Dim InputText As String = SerialPort1.ReadLine
Private Sub SerialPort1_DataReceived(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) Handles SerialPort1.DataReceived

Me.Invoke(New myDelegate(AddressOf UseData), New Object() {})

End SubI am aware that this event runs on another thread and I have seen but cannot now find information about closing multiple active threads.or do I have to "uninvoke" the delegate

VS 2010 - SerialPort Lagging - Serial Port Is Open And Waiting For Some Signals From The Dyno

Sep 9, 2010

I have things set up so that the program is ready to start logging ,only when Recieving=true.This is controlled with Button1. So I click button1,Serial port is open and waiting for some signals from the Dyno.When 1 signal come it put a "1" in TextBox1 ,and for the second a "2" and so on. Thing is sometimes it starts right away, like I want it to,and sometimes it lags a fraction of a second, even though the Port is open.When it lags there are already 5 to 10 signals gone by before it starts logging 1,2,3,...and so on. Sometimes it don't start at all.Then I have to close and re-open the form and it works,but with lagging on the first "set"

"Textbox1 > 0 then" triggers a timer (not seen in this code)that samples Textbox1 once pre interval and writes the value to a listbox. On the upside as soon as a "1" is displayed in textbox1 the timer starts like it's supposed to.I noticed this behaviour before I added the timer and besides the timer has nothing to do with the signals coming from the SerialPort. I have my form setup so I can run "sets".Run one "set"...save...reset...run another "set" ...and compare.It's always the first "set" thats off.If I run multiple "sets" the first one is completely "whacked", and the rest are consistent.

Think this could be the SerialPort lagging,or code problems?

Public Class Form1

Dim resetValues As Boolean = False
Dim RPM As Double

Unable To Close Serial Port After USB / Serial Converter Disconnected

Mar 28, 2006

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.

Communications :: Like A Serial Port

Mar 8, 2010

For many years, I have sent data between 2 computers using serial ports."Here is the data", "Thank you for that data!" type stuff.Where do I get more information for doing the same thing with 2 computers that are networked together? Assume a local ethernet connection.I have experimented with serial-ethernet modems and that works well but I don't want any more hardware.Is there a good thread here I should read?I want 2 VB programs running and I want to exchange data periodically.

Detecting A Serial COM Port?

Nov 9, 2009

I am developing a UI for an embedded device that I have designed and built. The device uses an FT232 chip which, when connected via USB is automatically assigned one of the COM ports. I was wondering if there is a way to set up a loop which would automatically detect which COM port the device has been assigned. I could then add some handshaking to verify that the port is correct.
