Title: RS232
Post by: englewood on October 30, 2015, 06:59:20 PM

Hello,

I'm very new to this sort of software and programming.

Can I use this software with a RS232?

Do you mean Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition?

Did you unzip the files?

No Express Edition 20015 for Windows 10.

Yeah I did :-)

Is it Express for Desktop? I think the Community Edition is the replacement for the Express editions.

Yes, I downloaded and installed Express for Desktop

I'm not sure why it won't work. I haven't tested anything with an Express version since version 2010

If you create a new blank project, can you add a label to the form and run the application?

Did you write some code? Those error codes sound like something for a web page.

Sorted it now - I dragged some code into the main code by mistake Doh.

A couple of Q's.

Can I make my own icons?
How do I use the serial data RS232?

You will have to know which PLC you plan to read data from to know which RS232 driver to use.

You can make your own icons. If you look in the additional components section of the forum there are some example icons there.
