In any language, visual studio 2022 does not recognize terms like "Serial Port" and "handshake"

Question

Downloaded several codes with languages from Visual Basic to C# for Serial Communication but visual studio 2022 does not recognize terms like "Serial Port" or "Handshake" even with the references that allegedly were previously used by the authors. Is there a new reference? .Net 6.0 evidently has removed such information.

Answer 1

Please explain how you got "System.IO.Port" into the code? I thought i tried everything possible.

Answer 2

In Visual Studio c# there is under the tool bar a feature NuGet, within this item there is a call for a source and name to get what we are after. On first use these items are filled in automatically and did not work for me. After numerous efforts at trying different names and sources, no success. Either I am using the wrong tool or what ever but no one yet has explained my failures.

Answer 3

Here is an example in C#

using System;
using System.IO.Ports;

class PortDataReceived
{
public static void Main()
{
SerialPort mySerialPort = new SerialPort("COM4");

    mySerialPort.BaudRate = 9600;  
    mySerialPort.Parity = Parity.None;  
    mySerialPort.StopBits = StopBits.One;  
    mySerialPort.DataBits = 8;  
    mySerialPort.Handshake = Handshake.None;  
    mySerialPort.RtsEnable = true;  

    mySerialPort.DataReceived += new SerialDataReceivedEventHandler(DataReceivedHandler);  

    mySerialPort.Open();  

    Console.WriteLine("Press any key to continue...");  
    Console.WriteLine();  
    Console.ReadKey();  
    mySerialPort.Close();  
}  

private static void DataReceivedHandler(  
                    object sender,  
                    SerialDataReceivedEventArgs e)  
{  
    SerialPort sp = (SerialPort)sender;  
    string indata = sp.ReadExisting();  
    Console.WriteLine("Data Received:");  
    Console.Write(indata);  
}  

}

Answer 4

.Net 6.0 evidently has removed such information.

In .NET 6, add the NuGet Package : System.IO.Ports

Answer 5

I could find the following: System I.O, Compression & CompressionZip, System I.O. File system & File system primitives but no System I.O. Ports. I found this under the Tools /Nuget. Maybe I am not doing this properly.
