serial port working and get result but not asyncronus by timer why

[ahmedsa]

Can any one helping me in this code :
using System;
using System.IO.Ports;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Threading;
using System.Text;

namespace CommSample

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
string portData = "";

{
label3.Text = serialPort1.IsOpen ? "[Open]" : "[Closed]";
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (pollingCheckbox.Checked)
{
timer1.Enabled = true;
}
else
{
timer1.Enabled = false;
TransmitCommand();
}
}

private void TransmitCommand()
{
if (textBox1.Text.Length > 0)
{
if (serialPort1.IsOpen)
{
serialPort1.Write("SX" + "\r");

}
}
}

{
if (serialPort1.IsOpen)

TransmitCommand();
serialPort1.DataReceived -= new SerialDataReceivedEventHandler(serialPort1_DataReceived);
serialPort1.Close();
}

foreach (byte x in Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(portData))
{

}
Console.WriteLine("Debug : " + debugMessage);

portData = portData.Substring(portData.IndexOf('\r') + 1);

Notes : textbox2 in multiline mode and my weight bridge weighting is ricelake IQ+355
This is code above working good his result is ok according to weight bridge value
but it is not asyncronusly
i make timer is enabled but also it is not asyncronusly meaning you need close application and open again to take the value of weight bridge
Now How i make code above asyncronusly working and changes when weight bridge in same time
thanks

You need to add breakpoints to your code, to stop it. Somewhere along the line, you'll see something that you weren't expecting. That's probably the only way to find the error. Otherwise, look at some other samples online
