This one doesn't support my requirement. I wish to use a third party control like zedgraph. Is there any available for WPF? By getting serial port data in a variable and chopping it. I can pass it to graph and plot it.

In Serial Port ActiveX you will find diverse methods to read/write to and from serial ports, plenty of properties for advanced configuration of serial ports as well as the complete range of events to control them. Integrating Serial Port ActiveX in your own software is quite easy thanks to sample code for major development environments that is bundled with our component.

With Serial Port ActiveX you can

• Communicate with external devices

  Serial Port ActiveX Control is designed to communicate with external devices, connected via RS232/422/485, such as modems, bar code readers, PBX, medical instruments, IrDA, Bluetooth and USB serial devices and so on.

• Fully control serial port activity

  Our Serial Port component features a variety of events, methods and properties to let you fully track serial port activity. You will see when a port was opened or closed, which data was sent or received and so on immediately. You can change serial port timeouts, lice and handflow control, line signals and special characters directly from your application.

• Manage serial port signal lines

  All hardware signal lines (DTR/DSR, RTS/CTS, RING, ERROR, DCD, etc.) are fully supported.

Full features list

Flexible set of ActiveX methods and properties for advanced control of all serial ports

Wide selection of supported events

Full signal lines support (DTR/DSR/RTS/CTS/Ring)

Extensive serial port configuration management (Baudrate, Databits, Parity, Flow Control, StopBits)

Ability to set up control characters and timeouts for serial port

You can easily receive all the details about the port your application works with: controller type, supported protocols, adjustable settings, etc.

Any number of ports can be controlled at the same time

Read/write to serial port various types of data: string, binary, byte array of VARIANTS (for ASP), etc

Ability to set up serial port settings within a single string (9600-N-8-1)

ZylSerialPort.NET 1.77
.NET Component

ZylSerialPort.NET is a thread based, event driven, asynchronous / synchronous serial port .NET framework / component.
Use ZylSerialPort.NET component to easily communicate with external devices on serial port connection, such as modems, bar code readers, GSM modules and others.

You can use it also with USB, IrDA and Bluetooth devices, because these devices have a driver that redirects the input from the USB, IrDA or Bluetooth port to a virtual serial port (you can check it in System/Device Manager/Ports). If your USB device is not provided with such a driver, then use a USB controller whose vendor provides a virtual serial port driver, such as FTDI or use a USB/RS-232 adapter.

ZylSerialPort.NET is written 100% in C# using .Net framework and API calls.
It solves the problems the .NET System.IO.Ports.SerialPort implementation has, like unplugged USB devices, automatic reconnect, ObjectDisposedException, etc. It's not a clone of the .NET SerialPort class, it was released in 2004, one year before System.IO.Ports.SerialPort was launched with the .NET Framework 2.0 in 2005, but it's usage is very similar.

The demo version is fully functional, but it displays a nag dialog (the licensed version will, of course, not have a nag dialog). The package includes demo programs for C# and VB.NET for Visual Studio 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019, Winforms and WPF. A help file is also included or you can use the online documentation.

Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/Server2003/Vista/Server2008/7/8/Server2012/10
Available for: .NET Framework 2.0 (demos: VS 2010), .NET Framework 3.5 (demos: VS 2010), .NET Framework 4.0 (demos: VS 2012), .NET Framework 4.5 (demos: VS 2013), .NET Framework 4.6 (demos: VS 2015), .NET Framework 4.7 (demos: VS 2017), .NET Standard 2.0 (demos: VS 2017), .NET Framework 4.8 (demos: VS 2019), .NET Standard 2.1 (demos: VS 2019), .NET Core (through .NET Standard) (contact us, if you need another combination)
