The following tables list the members exposed by the SerialPort type.

Public Constructors

	Name	Description
	SerialPort	Overloaded. Initializes a new instance of the SerialPort class.

Public Destructors

	Name	Description
	~SerialPort	Deletes an instance of the SerialPort class.

Public Properties

	Name	Description
	BaseStream	Gets the current instance as a stream.
	BaudRate	Gets or sets the serial baud rate.
	BytesToRead	Gets the number of bytes of data in the receive buffer.
	BytesToWrite	Gets the number of bytes of data in the send buffer.
	CanRead	Gets a value indicating whether the current stream supports reading.
	CanSeek	Gets a value indicating whether the current stream supports seeking.
	CanTimeout	Gets a value that indicates whether the current stream can time out.
	CanWrite	Gets a value that indicates whether the current stream supports writing.
	DataBits	Gets or sets the standard length of data bits per byte.
	Handshake	Gets or sets the handshaking protocol for serial port transmission of data.
	IsOpen	Gets a value indicating the open or closed status of the SerialPort object.
	Length	Gets the length in bytes of the stream.
	Parity	Gets or sets the parity-checking protocol.
	PortName	Gets or sets the port for communications, including but not limited to all available COM ports.
	Position	Gets or sets the position in the current stream.
	ReadTimeout	Gets or sets the number of milliseconds before a time-out occurs when a read operation does not finish.
	StopBits	Gets or sets the standard number of stopbits per byte.
	WriteTimeout	Gets or sets the number of milliseconds before a time-out occurs when a write operation does not finish.

Public Methods

	Name	Description
	Close	Closes the port connection, sets the IsOpen property to false, and disposes of the internal Stream object.
	DiscardInBuffer	Discards data from the serial driver's receive buffer.
	DiscardOutBuffer	Discards data from the serial driver's transmit buffer.
	Dispose	Releases the unmanaged resources used by the SerialPort object.
	Flush	Sends any data waiting in the send buffer of this SerialPort and clears the buffer.
	Open	Opens a new serial port connection.
	Read	Reads a number of bytes from the SerialPort input buffer and writes those bytes into a byte array at the specified offset.
	Seek	Sets the position within the current stream.
	SetLength	Sets the length of the current stream.
	Write	Writes a specified number of bytes to the serial port using data from a buffer.

Public Events

	Name	Description
	DataReceived	Represents the method that will handle the data received event of a SerialPort object.
	ErrorReceived	Represents the method that handles the error event of a SerialPort object.
