Hi all,

I am a long time creeper on the forms and first time poster.
Is there a way in C# to take data from a text box, and send the data out to a serial port?
I want to use this method to bypass a bar code reader, which operates serially. I intend to use the typed data as if I scanned it via the bar code reader.

Thanks!

Thanks! I was trying to find that, but alas I could not.

Thank you so much! I will attempt to solve this issue.
