help with program structure

Question

Hi,

I'm pretty new to C# and I have a problem finding a good way to structure my program.
I'm reading bytes from the COM port, and each bit in the bytes can represent some parameter that I want to print to a string.
So far I have managed to extract the meaning of the different bits for a single byte but there are up to 100 bytes with different parameters, so I want to structure my program correctly from the beginning.
This is my code so far, its only purpose is to look at bits 5 & 6 and print which meaning they represent.

class PMBus
    {
        const byte CAPABILITY_MAX_BUS_SPEED_100kHz = 0X00;  //none of bits 5 & 6 are set
        const byte CAPABILITY_MAX_BUS_SPEED_400kHz = 0X20;  //bit 5 is set
        const byte CAPABILITY_MAX_BUS_SPEED_RESERVED0 = 0X40;   //bits 6 is set
        const byte CAPABILITY_MAX_BUS_SPEED_RESERVED1 = 0X60;   //bits 5-6 are both set

        const byte CAPABILITY_MAX_BUS_SPEED = 0X60; //bit 5 and bit 6 define bus speed
        const byte CAPABILITY_SMBALERT = 0X10;
        const byte CAPABILITY_RESERVED = 0X08;


        public void GetCapabilityBusSpeed(byte _byte)
        {
            byte result = (byte)(_byte & CAPABILITY_MAX_BUS_SPEED);
           
            switch(result)
            {
                case CAPABILITY_MAX_BUS_SPEED_100kHz:
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("Max bus speed=100kHz");
                        break;
                    }
                case CAPABILITY_MAX_BUS_SPEED_400kHz:
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("Max bus speed=400kHz");
                        break;
                    }
                case CAPABILITY_MAX_BUS_SPEED_RESERVED0:
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("Reserved 0");
                        break;
                    }
                case CAPABILITY_MAX_BUS_SPEED_RESERVED1:
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("Reserved 1");
                        break;
                    }
            }
           
        }
    }

With many bytes and different bit meanings I would like some ideas or proposals of how to structure the program in a better way.
Could I make a struct for each byte that could hold the bit addresses and output strings?
Thanks in advance :)

See my article Introduction to Web Site Scraping.

hi friend,

Please give more details about it how you want to read. if you want to read HTML file you can read it as XML file  programmatically and if you want to read it using like javascript then you can identify the table by giving it an id. and read the rows.

Please mark as answer if it helps.
