Hi ,

Does anyone have any example or website how to use VS 2008 to UART in microcontroller to receive data. I have found many but it is either in VB6 and it uses MSCOMMS that is not available is VS 2008.

Thanks.Any help is appreciated.
 
If all you want is to receive data from the UART of Microcontroller you can use this method.
1) Add a Serial Port component to a form.
2) Change desired properties ( i.e. Baud rate..)
3) Call the Open() method in the Serial port control instance. eg : serialPort1.open();
4) Then you can use any of the following methods to receive data from the serial port
Read(), ReadByte(), ReadChar(), ReadExisting(), ReadLine()
eg : int onOfBytesRead = serialPort1.Read(receiveBuffer,0,serialPort1.BytesToRead)

I just gave you some guide lines. Hope you'll be able to manage it.
