Hello, EveryBody.

I write the app for NORTEL ATS, wich connected to PC by COM. This ATS sending data to COM about every 30 mins. i recieve strange chars... 1006, 288, 992, 1312... some garbage, and then app crashed, with exception on readchar(). may be something with encoding i chosed UTF8.

for reading data i use DataReceived Event handler

and then:

char ch;

if (SerialData.Chars == e.EventType){

while (serialPort1.BytesToRead>0){

try

{

ch = Convert.ToChar(serialPort1.ReadChar());

}
