How do I use dataReceived event of the SerialPort Port Object in C#?

by

I think your issue is the line:**

sp.DataReceived += port_OnReceiveDatazz;

Shouldn’t it be:

sp.DataReceived += new SerialDataReceivedEventHandler (port_OnReceiveDatazz);

**Nevermind, the syntax is fine (didn’t realize the shortcut at the time I originally answered this question).

I’ve also seen suggestions that you should turn the following options on for your serial port:

sp.DtrEnable = true;    // Data-terminal-ready
sp.RtsEnable = true;    // Request-to-send

You may also have to set the handshake to RequestToSend (via the handshake enumeration).

UPDATE:

Found a suggestion that says you should open your port first, then assign the event handler. Maybe it’s a bug?

So instead of this:

sp.DataReceived += new SerialDataReceivedEventHandler (port_OnReceiveDatazz);
sp.Open();

Do this:

sp.Open();
sp.DataReceived += new SerialDataReceivedEventHandler (port_OnReceiveDatazz);

Let me know how that goes.
