From your code snippet it appears that "OurChosenSerialPort" is a varialbe local to the function that opens it. If that's the case, only that function can use it. I would suggest making a member variable so that other functions in that class can use it.

I suggest you create a class for your serial port communication, giving it methods such as Open(..), Close(), Send(string message), etc.

I haven't seen the post where Dave and Gerry helped, so maybe you've already done that.

I often make very large prints from unexposed film, and every one of them turns out to be a picture of myself as I once dreamed I would be.
