Just want to know how do we clear the receive buffer of my serial port in C#. Seems like the data in the receive buffer just keep accumulating.
For example, the flow of incoming data is: [Data A], [Data B], [Data C]. The data I want is just [Data C].
I'm thinking of doing like, when I receive [Data A] and [Data B], I do a clear buffer. Only when [Data C] is received, I continue process. Is this the way to do it in C#?

If you are using the System.IO.Ports.SerialPort then you could use the two methods:
DiscardInBuffer() and DiscardOutBuffer() to flush the buffers.
If you are reading the data from a serial port:
private void comPort_DataReceived(object sender, SerialDataReceivedEventArgs e)
{
if (!this.Open) return; // We can't receive data if the port has already been closed. This prevents IO Errors from being half way through receiving data when the port is closed.
string line = String.empty;
try
{
line = _SerialPort.ReadLine();
line = line.Trim();
//process your data if it is "DATA C", otherwise ignore
}
catch (IOException ex)
{
//process any errors
}
}
