Close Method

Closes the communications port.

Syntax

[Visual Basic]
object.Close()

[C#]
object.Close()

[C++]
object->Close()

Parameters

object

An object expression that evaluates to a PortController object.

Return Value

None

Remarks

• If Close() is called on an unopened port, no exception is thrown and execution will continue normally. This means that it is always safe to call Close(), even when there is no guarantee that the port is open.
• This method is called automatically when the object is destroyed.

Errors

If the port is open and unable to be closed for any reason, the PortController will throw an "Unexpected Error" exception

Example

[Visual Basic]
myPortController.Close()


[C#]
myPortController.Close();


[C++]
myPortController->Close();
