C#

public class MyBase
{
   public string CommonProperty { get; set; }
}

public class ClassOne : MyBase
{
   public string  ClassOneProperty { get; set; }
}

public class ClassTwo : MyBase
{
   public string ClassTwoProperty { get; set; }
}

public class program()
{
   var classTwo = new ClassTwo();
   classTwo.CommonProperty = "Some string";
   classTwo.ClassTwoProperty = "Some other string";
   TestFunction(classTwo);

   private void TestFunction(object unknownClass)
   {
       // how do I convert unknownClass to its actual class and access its properties
       // regardless of which type was passed to the function?
   }
}

How to trigger an event when the last data was read from COM port after a certain time with C#?
Is it possible?

The while loop stop when data reads x, but the buttonTransfer button never gets enabled
and the MessageBox message never shows up, but the program does not either freeze. What can be the problem with this code?

try
{
  buttonTransfer.Enabled = false;
  port = new SerialPort();
  port.BaudRate = 9600;
  port.PortName = getValueNew;
  port.Open();

  port.Write("1");

  while (data != "x")
  {
     data = port.ReadLine();
     this.Invoke(new EventHandler(displaydata_event));
  }
  buttonTransfer.Enabled = true;
  MessageBox.Show("Done!");
  port.Close();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
   MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
