Question

I have used the code below to read rfid tag values.

try
{
    if (serialPort1.IsOpen) serialPort1.Close();
    serialPort1.PortName = "COM25";

    serialPort1.BaudRate = 9600;
    serialPort1.DataBits = 8;
    serialPort1.ReceivedBytesThreshold = 5;
    serialPort1.Handshake = Handshake.None;

    serialPort1.Open();
    lblStatus.Text = "Serial Port: Connected";
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    lblStatus.Text = "Serial Port: Unable to Connect";
}

The above code is working for windows application but when i use the same code in windows mobile emulator it is saying unable to connect serial port. Can someone please help me out?

You need to do some specific configuration with the emulator to enable ports. See here for a good, starter article.

Googling how to configure windows mobile emulator serial port for will also yield some things to look at.
