joe_pool_is Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 I have a program that is monitoring remote systems via the COM Port using Microsoft's Rs232.vb class. Currently, my program feels like it is moving through thick tar: It is very slow. The system seems to freeze between timer tick events. Does anyone know what might be causing the program to run so slow? Is there a way to make the timer and serial port "do their thing" in the background while the rest of the program is running?

joe_pool_is Posted January 23, 2004 Author Posted January 23, 2004 Code is attached Absolutely! I had to zip it up using WinZip because it was too large. Everything is included.switchertester.zip Quote Avoid Sears Home Improvement
joe_pool_is Posted January 26, 2004 Author Posted January 26, 2004 Splice, Were you able to come up with anything from the code example that I posted above? The program is going to monitor "always on" systems, so the COM port will have to be open all the time. Am I just out of luck? Quote Avoid Sears Home Improvement
