SerialPort.Parity Property

Definition

Gets or sets the parity-checking protocol.

public:
 property System::IO::Ports::Parity Parity { System::IO::Ports::Parity get(); void set(System::IO::Ports::Parity value); };
public System.IO.Ports.Parity Parity { get; set; }
[System.ComponentModel.Browsable(true)]
public System.IO.Ports.Parity Parity { get; set; }
member this.Parity : System.IO.Ports.Parity with get, set
[<System.ComponentModel.Browsable(true)>]
member this.Parity : System.IO.Ports.Parity with get, set
Public Property Parity As Parity

Property Value

One of the enumeration values that represents the parity-checking protocol. The default is None.

Attributes

Exceptions

The port is in an invalid state.

-or-

An attempt to set the state of the underlying port failed. For example, the parameters passed from this SerialPort object were invalid.

The Parity value passed is not a valid value in the Parity enumeration.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the use of the SerialPort class to allow two users to chat from two separate computers connected by a null modem cable. In this example, the users are prompted for the port settings and a username before chatting. This code example is part of a larger code example provided for the SerialPort class.

Remarks

Parity is an error-checking procedure in which the number of 1s must always be the same - either even or odd - for each group of bits that is transmitted without error. In modem-to-modem communications, parity is often one of the parameters that must be agreed upon by sending parties and receiving parties before transmission can take place.

If a parity error occurs on the trailing byte of a stream, an extra byte will be added to the input buffer with a value of 126.
