Hi,

SerialPort is a class, hence a reference type.

You can declare SerialPort references as much as you like, and copy them,
and pass them from one object to another; but you can only create SerialPort
instances (i.e. real objects) by using the "new" keyword.

"new" is not present in the code you have shown, if it is not there at all
then anything you try to do to serialPort1 is doomed to fail with a
NullReferenceException.

Also relevant could be the following MSDN remark on SerialPort.Open:
"The best practice for any application is to wait for some amount of time after
calling the Close method before attempting to call the Open method, as the port
may not be closed instantly."

Since they don't specify "some amount of time" this is not very practical;
the better approach may be to open the port only once.

Smile | :)

this weeks tips:
- make Visual display line numbers: Tools/Options/TextEditor/...
- show exceptions with ToString() to see all information
- before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google
