The ReadArray method reads data from virtual serial port input buffer and returns as VARIANT type variable of Byte array.  

 

VARIANT ReadArray(

      LONG Count     // the number of bytes to read

);

 

Parameters :

  • Count [in]: The number of bytes to be read from the port.

Return Values : The ReadArray read communication data from remote serial port and returns it as variable of VARIANT type of Byte array (VT_ARRAY | VT_UI1).

Note: If virtual serial port was not created, the return value is 0 (zero). This method is identical to Read, however is specially created for VB6, C#, VB.Net development environments.

C# example:

byte[] Buff;

Buff = axVSPortAx1.ReadArray(20) as byte[];

  

VB.NET example:

Dim Buff() As Byte

Buff = AxVSPortAx1.ReadArray(10)
