The Connection type exposes the following members.
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | BytesAvailable |
Returns an estimate of the number of bytes that can be read from this connection without blocking.
|
| Close |
Closes this connection and releases any system resources associated with the connection.
|
| GetConnectionReestablisher |
Returns a ConnectionReestablisher which allows for easy recreation of a connection which may have been closed.
|
| Open |
Opens the connection to a device.
|
| Read |
Reads all the available data from the connection. This call is non-blocking.
|
| Read(BinaryWriter) |
Reads all the available data from the connection.
|
| ReadChar |
Reads the next byte of data from the connection.
|
| SendAndWaitForResponse(Byte, Int32, Int32, String) |
Sends dataToSend and returns the response data.
|
| SendAndWaitForResponse(BinaryWriter, BinaryReader, Int32, Int32, String) |
Sends data from sourceStream and writes the response data to destinationStream.
|
| SendAndWaitForValidResponse(Byte, Int32, Int32, ResponseValidator) |
Sends dataToSend and returns the response data.
|
| SendAndWaitForValidResponse(BinaryWriter, BinaryReader, Int32, Int32, ResponseValidator) |
Sends data from sourceStream and writes the response data to destinationStream.
|
| ToString |
See the classes which implement this method for the format of the description string.
|
| WaitForData |
Causes the currently executing thread to sleep until BytesAvailable > 0, or for a maximum of
maxTimeout milliseconds.
|
| Write(Byte) |
Writes data.Length bytes from the specified byte array to this output stream.
|
| Write(BinaryReader) |
Writes all available bytes from the data source to this output stream.
|
| Write(Byte, Int32, Int32) |
