C# Console Application
I am using SerialPort class to send/receive message using serial prot communication. Currently I am using Virtual COM Port software to create virtual COM ports in my machine.
What I wanted to achive like follwing:
If I send : Hello Then I should receive: Hello
Problems
I am not able to receive same messge. It is decode into some random any alphabets or special characters.
Instead of Hello I am getting Hiiii or H..... or H@@@@. I sending any random chars
You may see the result in the follwing screenshot. Here I am sending Hello but receiving some different chars.

//# Configuration
serialPort = new SerialPort()
{
PortName = "COM1",
ReadTimeout = 1500,
BaudRate = 9600,
DataBits = 8,
StopBits = StopBits.One,
Parity = Parity.None,
Handshake = configuration.Handshake,
DtrEnable = true, //Default is false
RtsEnable = true, //Default is false
NewLine = Environment.NewLine,
//Encoding = Encoding.UTF8;
};
//Add Event Listener
serialPort.DataReceived += new SerialDataReceivedEventHandler(Barcode_Received);
if (!serialPort.IsOpen)
{
serialPort.Open();
}
Console.WriteLine("Connection Established!");
Console.ReadLine();
serialPort.Close();
Event
private void Barcode_Received(object sender, SerialDataReceivedEventArgs e)
{
//#Reading barcode data which is comming from Instrument/Device/Beckman
var serialPort = (SerialPort)sender;
string data = serialPort.ReadExisting();
}
I ahve also tried serialPort.Read(...) instead of ReadExisting() but provides same data
