C# serial communication

Asked by 154115 in Apple Programming, C# Programming Language, Microsoft Visual C#.Net

Tags: Visual, Studio, C#, Serial, Port

Hi experts!

I have a very simple c# code for sending and receiving serial commands and it works fine. If i send a command and the command is recognized, then I will receive a respond from the serial device. When the command is not recocnized i don't get any responce at all. My problem is that i want to be noticed when something is sent and nothing is returned in the DataReceived event to make a log showing which commands my serial devide doesn't respond to. How can I do that?
