Clear Serial Port Buffer

[tony]

Hi.

How can i clear the serial port buffer ?

I'm not familiar enough with the .NET CF SerialPort class to give a perfect
answer, but an inspection of the *Help* for the class shows
DiscardInBuffer() and DiscardOutBuffer() methods...

MyCommPort.DiscardInBuffer();

MyCommPort.DiscardOutBuffer();

Read all data and throw it away.

Read clears it.

I (personally) think it is silly to DicardInputBuffer, but you can do that
too.
