StopBits Enumeration
Assembly: System (in system.dll)
This enumeration specifies the number of stop bits to use. Stop bits separate each unit of data on an asynchronous serial connection. They are also sent continuously when no data is available for transmission.
The None option is not supported. Setting the StopBits property to None raises an ArgumentOutOfRangeException.
The following code example displays the possible values of the StopBits enumeration to the console, then prompts the user to choose one. This code example is part of a larger code example provided for the SerialPort class.
Public Shared Function SetPortStopBits(ByVal defaultPortStopBits As StopBits) As StopBits Dim newStopBits As String Console.WriteLine("Available Stop Bits options:") Dim s As String For Each s In [Enum].GetNames(GetType(StopBits)) Console.WriteLine(" {0}", s) Next s Console.Write("Stop Bits({0}):", defaultPortStopBits.ToString()) newStopBits = Console.ReadLine() If newStopBits = "" Then newStopBits = defaultPortStopBits.ToString() End If Return CType([Enum].Parse(GetType(StopBits), newStopBits), StopBits) End Function
