tuxdino,i have try compile will your code.however..the compiling error still exist.the error stated that "A first chance exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in System.dll"

hi everyone..
im working on wireless sensor network for remote monitoring system. im thinking of best receiver to use for multiple node of transmitter that can be receive by single transceiver?can anyone share which one is better for WSN application with some arguments...tq

tuxduino...

actually i got the coding from other pages.

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal _e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        If Button1.Text = "Close" Then    ' will fail it button's text is " Close" (notice the extra space)
            SerialPort1.Close()
            Button1.Text = "Open"
        Else
            If Not SerialPort1.IsOpen Then SerialPort1.Open()    ' where is endif ?

            Button1.Text = " Close"    ' one extra space!( meaning of the code)?

        End If// here is the end if .
    End Sub

hope u can help me in understanding me the button.text= "close" code..i can get ur comment on that code.

PaulS, here is the declaration for the serialport1.

Public Class Form1
    Dim voltage As Integer
    Dim WithEvents longitude As SerialPort = New  _
        System.IO.Ports.SerialPort("COM23", 9600, Parity.None, 8, StopBits.One)

however, i still get the same error " system.InvalidOperationException ".

paul...how to intialized the serial port1?

what is the suitable transceiver model that can receive multiple transmitted data in serial at same time with minimal cost?

should it be initialized?how? because previously i have complied the code, but no error happens. how ever , the error appeared as i put the timer function to the code.

i cannot paste the print screen of the error..

after compiling the coding...another window appeared stated that " an invalid operation excerption was unhandled"
The error is: Failed to initialize because CategoryName is missing

tq.

hi everyone,
need ur help to solve the problem that i face.im working on developing the flood monitoring system, using serial data received, then manipulte the data by arduino atMega328 deumilanove. im trying to do the visual basic command but i got an error stated that there are command that is not initialized.my coding are as follows.

visual basic 2010 coding.
