JadeSerialPort Class

The JadeSerialPort class encapsulates the behavior required for communicating with external systems and external applications (either Jade or non‑Jade systems) through a serial port.

In Jade thin client mode, connections can be made either to the thin client or the application server.

The JadeSerialPort class supports both synchronous and asynchronous operations.

Asynchronous methods have a receiver object and a message (method name) specified as parameters. When the method completes successfully, the specified (callback) method of the object is called. The callback method must match the signature required by the calling asynchronous method.

Only one synchronous or asynchronous operation can be performed at one time.

Performing a synchronous write operation stops any additional requests from being queued until the synchronous operation is completed.

You can use serial ports with numbers greater than 9, by using the extended name format; for example, "\\.\COM11". (For details, see "Communications Resources" under the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) CreateFile function documentation.)

For details about the constants, properties, and methods defined in the JadeSerialPort class, see "JadeSerialPort Class Constants", "JadeSerialPort Properties", and "JadeSerialPort Methods", in the following subsections.
