OpenNETCF.IO.Serial

[Krupa]

Hi,

I am working on a GPS application. It's a CF 2.0 application for
Windows CE 5.0 device. I am able to read from serial port using
OpenNETCF.IO.Serial class. Below is the code I use.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Port com_port;
com_port = new Port("COM4:");
com_port.Settings.BaudRate = BaudRates.CBR_9600;
com_port.InputLen = 500;
bool success = com_port.Open();
byte[] gps_bytes = com_port.Input;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is working fine. Now I want to so some changes in settings at the
receiver. I need to use CFG-NAV2 protocol for this. I couldn't find out
how to send a stream of data to the receiver. Is there a link where
there is information on sending data on this port?

Could someone help me with this?

Thanks,
Krupa

Have you looked at the Output method?

BTW, since this is CF2, why not use the built-in serial object
(System.IO.Ports)? with it you'd use the ReadExisting method for input, and
the Write method for output.
