Hi. Can anyone see a problem with this code??

Imports System
Imports Microsoft.SPOT
Imports System.IO.Ports
Imports SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.NetduinoPlus
Imports System.Threading
Imports Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware
Imports SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware


Public Class OneWireTemperature

    Public Sub New()
        Dim _COM1 As serialport

    End Sub

End Class

I'm trying to port some C# code and am stuck.

serialport does not exist... I can't find it anywhere. There is a serialportS... but I can't see how to initialize.

See if this thread helps: Serial Port

Thanks Joe. Stefan posted the solution there: The reference is "Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware.SerialPort" But the imports line is "Imports System.IO.Ports"

[Stefan]

And did that help?

And did that help?

It did... I wasn't expecting different names for the reference and the import statements.

It's confusing, I know

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I can't find Serialport even with this info. I'm using RC4. I know I must be missing some small detail, but I can't find it. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Bryan and welcome to the forums Did you successfully added the reference to Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware.SerialPort? If so, on what part do you get stuck?

[Bryan T]

Well, yes, about one minute after I posted, I re-read the other thread and found that missing small detail. <insert embarrassed emoticon here> Of course, it's working now. Thanks for the quick reply. I'm wading deep into this Visual-Basic-on-Netduino pool. Thought I was in over my head for a minute there. Lovin' it so far.

Glad to read everything is working OK!
