I assume you set the Baudrate,NoOfBit,Parity etc. correctly. If yes then it is usually a question of handshaking (RTS, CTS). This depends very much what the Sender Needs. But if you where sucessfully with another terminal then "simply" check there what Settings are working and Setup SerialPortTerminal with same values.
And have also a look to the code, I think it is easy to understand.

Yeah! Got it! But now I need to learn how to edit this and have a small window just show that "received" data!
|
|
|
|

Step by step. Play a Little bit, analize/modify code. Especally take a look how DataReceived-Hanlder from the serialport component is implemented. This part is the hardest part because one needs this Invoke Thing to avoid crashes between GUI main thread and serialport component threads.
And Keep in mind you always can unzip the original again

Yeah! It looks easy to modify but in practice it is not at all!  Each time I change the GUI and delete something I have bunch of errors! Yes, seems I need to unzip everything and discover every inches!

Don't worry you will learn this. I learned it also and still have from time to time Problems 
One tip: All these visual components have a property "Visible". For the first trials maybe it is easier simply to set this prop to false to hide them.

Ummm... visibility! Good advice Bruno! I will take it!

LOL! These smiley icons make me laugh! Yes, so dirty!
Listen I have a question for you if you don't mind:
How can I run this:
<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.ports.serialport.aspx">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.ports.serialport.aspx</a>[<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.ports.serialport.aspx" target="_blank" title="New Window">^</a>]
Should I use a Form Application? If yes, Why I have too many errors!
|

The link you mention is same Serial port class like SerialPortTerminal uses.
I suggest to use WinForms (for me WinForm is the easiest case).
What kind of errors do you have?
Go step by step:
1.) Make a new Project of type c#, Windows Forms Application
2.) Run it...I know this step is more or less meaningless, but even you know if it runs your very base is ok.
3.) Go on with Serial port component (either you create it at runtime with new, like the demoprogram). But it is also possible to drag&drop it from tool box (section Components) to the mainform. In this case you do not have to bother about create it at runtime....and even more most of the properties like Baudrate etc. you can set directly in visual studo.

Bruno!
Thanks for your guidelines. Bill mentioned that I cannot simply copy and paste that MSDN code and run it and expect it to work immediately. As you know when you have an empty Form the code is as follows.
<pre lang="c#">
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace WindowsFormsApplication6
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
}
}
</pre>
But when if you replace it with one of the MSDN codes, the compiler gets many errors such as:
Error 2 'object' does not contain a definition for 'Dispose'

Thanks for the steps. I will apply them.

Usually requests to delete an account are posted here: [^], but, who knows, this may work.

Help you? With what? You never asked a question or stated any kind of problem you're having.

What you need to do is start off by breaking down your requirements into smaller, more manageable chunks. That's always the place to start.
