SerialPort Class

After looking at the SerialPort class, it seems to only provide getters (not setters) for the bits (CD, DTR, DSR, Ring, etc.). :confused:

Does anyone know if there is a way to set/clear these bits at my discretion using C#? :ehh:

Thanks

I guess these fields are available display the status of those bits only. As the low level handshaking of DSR/DTR is performed by .NET Framework.

If you want that kind of power over a serial port try using interop with the kernel32 library. It will allow you to set everything you could possibly want to set. Problem is... interop, sort of defeats the purpose of C# but Ive found it very useful in my development with serial ports.
