    <p>I've been trying to learn a bit about how .Net (3.5) interacts with the Serial port through the <code>System.IO.Ports.SerialPorts</code> class by writing a small Windows Forms application to gather caller display data from an old external modem.</p> <p>I've tested that the modem supports caller display; using Putty or Hyperterminal I can configure the modem to collect caller display data (using the command <code>AT#CID=1</code>, which I found <a href="http://ftp.mtnsys.com/Pages/howto/htmdmtst.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>), and when the phone rings, the data is displayed. In the terminal window, it looks like this:</p> <pre><code>RING DATE = 0308 TIME = 2045 NMBR = 01234567890 RING </code></pre> <p>My C# application appears to successfully configure the modem and displays a <code>RING</code> message when the phone rings; however, it never displays the caller ID data.</p> <p>In an effort to understand why this is, I compared the actions taken by the different clients using Sysinternals <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896644.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Portmon</a>.</p> <p>The primary difference appears in the connection configuration; my C# application includes the following line, which Putty and Hyperterminal do not;</p> <pre><code>0.00000307 callerID.exe IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_WAIT_MASK Serial0 SUCCESS Mask: RXCHAR RXFLAG CTS DSR RLSD BRK ERR RING </code></pre> <p>As I understand it, <code>IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_WAIT_MASK</code> is an inclusive list of message types to filter for. </p> <p>So, three questions:</p> <p>Is it possible that the caller ID information is being suppressed by <code>IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_WAIT_MASK</code>? </p> <p>If so, how can I configure it to show the caller ID info? It doesn't appear to be accessible from the class properties.</p> <p>If I can't configure it, is my only option to get around this to write my own wrapper to the lower-level system functions controlling the serial port?</p> <p>My understanding of serial port communications is very basic, so I expect I'm way off in my diagnosis. Any guidance gratefully received.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
