SerialPort.Open Method

  • Article

Opens a new serial port connection.

Namespace: System.IO.Ports
Assembly: Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware (in microsoft.spot.hardware.dll)

Syntax

[MethodImplAttribute(Synchronized)]
public void Open ()

Remarks

Only one open connection can exist per SerialPort object.

The best practice for any application is to wait for some amount of time after calling the Close method before attempting to call the Open method, as the port may not be closed instantly.

Version Information

Available in the .NET Micro Framework versions 3.0, 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2.
