questions about SerialPort in VS2010 ?

Dec 3 2012 10:27 PM

I've read some materials about SerialPort in VS2010, and they refer to the stream and the input buffer of the SerialPort object! and i wonder what they are ?
In addition, I'd like to change between reading data in binary or text form when reading from serial buffer.How can I do this ?
Hope to get your help ! ^ ~ ^ !
