Hi Chris

I have added watches at the copied the value when the app stops (I send the text 'hello'). It is reading the line and things seems ok to me.

		bufferLength	7	int
		bufferMax	1024	int
		bufferMax - bufferLength	1017	int
-		buffer	{byte[1024]}	byte[]
		[0]	104	byte
		[1]	101	byte
		[2]	108	byte
		[3]	108	byte
		[4]	111	byte
		[5]	13	byte
		[6]	10	byte
		[7]	0	byte
		[8]	0	byte
		[9]	0	byte
		[10]	0	byte
                .
                .
                [1023]    0    byte

For now I'm surviving by adding a try/catch around the read call:

                int bytesReceived = 0;
                try
                {
                    bytesReceived = serialPort.Read(buffer, bufferLength, bufferMax - bufferLength);
                }
                catch
                {
                    Debug.Print("SerialPort exception");
                }

I'm using the Serial Port Helper with a Netduino Plus 2 and a Sparkfun Bluetooth Mate Gold. I can send data from the Netduino without problems but when reading I sometimes encounter an exeption - sometimes it is succesfull. I have not been able to identify any pattern in when it is successful and when it fails. The program stops at the read line in the below shown code:

private void serialPort_DataReceived(object sender, SerialDataReceivedEventArgs e)
{
     lock (buffer)
     {
         int bytesReceived = serialPort.Read(buffer, bufferLength, bufferMax - bufferLength);
 
         if (bytesReceived > 0)
         {
             bufferLength += bytesReceived;
             if (bufferLength >= bufferMax)
                 throw new ApplicationException("Buffer Overflow");
         }
      }
}

with the following debug output
