SerialPort::ReadBufferSize Property
Gets or sets the size of the SerialPort input buffer.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentOutOfRangeException | The ReadBufferSize value set is less than or equal to zero. |
| InvalidOperationException | The ReadBufferSize property was set while the stream was open. |
| IOException | The ReadBufferSize property was set to an odd integer value. |
The ReadBufferSize property ignores any value smaller than 4096.
Because the ReadBufferSize property represents only the Windows-created buffer, it can return a smaller value than the BytesToRead property, which represents both the SerialPort buffer and the Windows-created buffer.
