           Summary: System.IO.Ports.SerialPort.ReadLine() does not use the

Description of Problem:
The ReadLine () method of the System.IO.Ports.SerialPort class does not use the
value of the NewLine property to detect the end of a line.  
Currently it compares against the ‘\n’ character instead of the new_line
variable.  

Also the MS behavior is that a sequence of characters can be used to define the
end of a line.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Create a SerialPort object.
2. set the NewLine property to “XY”
3.  open the port and call ReadLine ()
4. Send “fooXY” to the serial port from another machine.

Actual Results:
No line will be read as it is waiting for a \n to finish the line.

Expected Results:
The line “foo” should be read.

How often does this happen? 
Always.
