Hi i am trying to write-read data from serial port but it don't work
my code look like this

Private comPort As New SerialPort

            comPort.PortName = cboCom.Text
            comPort.Parity = Parity.None
            comPort.DataBits = 8
            comPort.StopBits = StopBits.One
            comPort.BaudRate = CInt(cboSpeed.Text)
            comPort.Handshake = Handshake.None

 comPort.Open()
'Write GPS command
 comPort.WriteLine("$PSRF103,00,00,01,01*25")

and the result is my device don't listen and i dont know WHY!!

I find it!
the problem was on the line
comPort.Writeline("fdsfsdfsdfa")
and the correct is
comPort.Write("fsdfsdfsda" + vbCrLf)
thanks anyway

Ok but my program is very slow now
it take too much time to display the serial data to the listbox
is any better method to do this?
please advice me
