DemoRS232 - Not useable in VS2010 (nrcomm 3.03)

[moelski]

Hi !

Today I tried to open the Demo project for RS232.
After converting the project there are some errors which prevent of running the demo.

And as far I can see there is no code for receiving data ...  :o

Hello

Demo RS232 shows two i/o modes: synchronous and asynchronous.
It seems like it turns on the first one by default.
Please try to change MonitorThreadMode in Enable value. It disables any event calls if it has Disable value.

Hi Roman,

I think that is not the problem ...

First I got 3 Errors / warnings:
Error   1   The type 'DemoRS232.Properties.Settings' already contains a definition for 'defaultInstance'   C:\Dev\Visual Studio Kompo\nrComm\Demos\DemoRS232\Properties\Settings.Designer.cs   18   33   DemoRS232
Error   2   The type 'DemoRS232.Properties.Settings' already contains a definition for 'Default'   C:\Dev\Visual Studio Kompo\nrComm\Demos\DemoRS232\Properties\Settings.Designer.cs   20   32   DemoRS232

The warning is about the rs485 Mode ...

Hello

We have tested our version of RS232 Demo. VS2010 converts and compiles it without any problem.
Please check sources from attachment.

You just need to update assembly reference to nrComm.Core

Hi !

Ok that version works better.
But there is still another problem:

{"Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'statusStrip1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on."}

Hello

This exception is normal for VS projects.
The event handlers are executed in other thread than main form thread.
You need call Invoke for change visual controls state.

But NrComm can help if you will set UseMainThread in true.
