Hi,
I have one VB6 project and I want to migrate it in C# application.
In VB6 project MSCOMM.OCX is used for communication.
If I used same MSCOMM control in C# application then it works but I want to implement this with serial class then I am not getting correct response ( get ? at some bytes and so response is not correct).
code with mscomm
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
axMSComm1.Settings = "9600,N,8,1";
axMSComm1.CommPort = 1;
axMSComm1.DTREnable = true;
axMSComm1.RTSEnable = true;
axMSComm1.PortOpen = true;
send_open_session_command();
Application.DoEvents();
analyse_response();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
axMSComm1.PortOpen = false;
}
axMSComm1.PortOpen = false;
}
private void axMSComm1_OnComm(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
switch (axMSComm1.CommEvent)
{
case 0:
case 1:
break;
case 2:
readbuffer = axMSComm1.Input.ToString();
response_flg = true;
string hexOutput = "";
foreach (char _eachChar in readbuffer)
{
int value = Convert.ToInt32(_eachChar);
hexOutput += String.Format("{0:X}", value);
}
MessageBox.Show(hexOutput);
return;
}
}
