How to set up the com1 port for say 9600,8,n,1 in vc2005/vb2005 and output a byte to the port?

K. Sriharan,

This is the sample Comport setting.

// Set the port's settings

comport.BaudRate = 38400;

comport.DataBits = 7;

comport.StopBits = (StopBits)Enum.Parse(typeof(StopBits), "Two");

comport.Parity = (Parity)Enum.Parse(typeof(Parity), "Even");

comport.PortName = "COM1";

// Open the port

To Send a byte.

Use this method:

comport.write()

Have a try ..

Or like this, with the values you requested:

comport.BaudRate = 9600;

comport.DataBits = 8;

comport.StopBits = StopBits.One;

comport.Parity = Parity.None;

comport.PortName = "COM1";

try this link. I posted this several months ago, then found the answer and posted it in the thread.

Has any body else had problems opening a port using

comport.StopBits = StopBits.None;

mine comes up with index out of range?
