Managing Ports and Transfers in .NET

The timer’s Tick routine executes when the timer is running and the specified

interval has elapsed. The routine should do whatever is needed with any

received data:

 Private Sub tmrPollForReceivedDataTick
(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles tmrPollForReceivedData.Tick

Dim receivedData As String

' Read and display any received data.

receivedData = myComPort.ReadExisting()

If Not (receivedData = "") Then

Console.WriteLine(receivedData)

End If

End Sub

 private void tmrPollForReceivedData_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
String receivedData;

// Read and display any received data.

receivedData = myComPort.ReadExisting();

if (!(receivedData == "") )

{

Console.WriteLine(receivedData);

}

}

On closing the port, stop the timer.

 tmrPollForReceivedData.Stop()

 tmrPollForReceivedData.Stop();
