Hello everyone!

I would like to creat an Serial port C# application with Mono.

I'm searching an usefull example to writing an platform independent C# based Serial port example using Mono.

Can you help me?

Thanks in advance!

you'll need to install Mono on your system. Once you have Mono installed, you can use the System.IO.Ports namespace in C# to work with Serial ports. This namespace provides classes and methods to communicate with Serial ports in a platform-independent manner. using System; using System.IO.Ports; class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { // Get the available Serial ports string[] ports = SerialPort.GetPortNames(); if (ports.Length > 0) { // Select the first available Serial port string portName = ports[0]; // Create a new SerialPort object SerialPort serialPort = new SerialPort(portName, 9600); try { // Open the Serial port serialPort.Open(); // Write data to the Serial port serialPort.WriteLine("Hello, Serial port!"); // Close the Serial port serialPort.Close(); Console.WriteLine("Data written to Serial port successfully."); } catch (Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine("Error: " + ex.Message); } } else { Console.WriteLine("No Serial ports found."); } } } Remember to handle exceptions appropriately when working with Serial ports, as they can throw exceptions for various reasons (e.g., port not found, permission denied, etc.).

Defenitly, here is an example: - using System; using System.IO.Ports; class SerialPortExample { static void Main() { // Get available serial ports string[] portNames = SerialPort.GetPortNames(); if (portNames.Length == 0) { Console.WriteLine("No serial ports available."); return; } // Select the first available serial port string selectedPort = portNames[0]; Console.WriteLine("Available serial ports:"); foreach (var port in portNames) { Console.WriteLine(port); } Console.WriteLine("
Selected serial port: " + selectedPort); // Create a SerialPort object SerialPort serialPort = new SerialPort(selectedPort, 9600, Parity.None, 8, StopBits.One); try { // Open the serial port serialPort.Open(); Console.WriteLine("Serial port opened."); // Write data to the serial port string dataToSend = "Hello, Serial Port!"; serialPort.WriteLine(dataToSend); Console.WriteLine("Data sent: " + dataToSend); // Read data from the serial port string receivedData = serialPort.ReadLine(); Console.WriteLine("Data received: " + receivedData); } catch (Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine("Error: " + ex.Message); } finally { // Close the serial port if (serialPort.IsOpen) { serialPort.Close(); Console.WriteLine("Serial port closed."); } } } }
