[Mono-list] Serial Ports

[Victor Rocha]

Hello

I suggest first try a very simple example (like writing simple ascii 
text on a serial port with mono, then reading it with putty or 
hyperterminal, on another comport which can be on the same computer).

This should be very straight forward.... i learned from the same link 
some time ago (http://www.mono-project.com/HowToSystemIOPorts)

After making sure that a simple example works fine, there comes some tricks.
for example, sometimes i need do set DtrEnabled = true; it depends on 
the device being communicated to;
there are also issues with "events" on received data, if i record 
correctly, but a simple byte read should work nicely, or see below.

Older posts here in mono lists report that:
- "Unity" project maybe had a complete version, but noone replied?? 
(buhochileno in july12th)
- this blog has example on threaded polling, to replace the necessity of 
events: http://shaneo.blogsite.org/ (shawn in aug21st)

greetings :-)
