Hey!
I'm newbie to programming. My new program has 4 functions Lets say funcA(),funcB(),funcC() and funcD(). funcA() is used to read serial port. funcA() constantly reads a status of certain device and status becomes YES funcA() calls funcB(),funcC() and funcD() respectively. funcB(),funcC() and funcD() takes little time to get executed. During that period the funcA() stops reading status from serial port. So What i need to do is keep funcA() independent of other functions and keep reading serial port and save it buffer. How can i do it?? Any help is appreciated... THANK YOU...

It's called "threading"

Hi Sharath,

As ThePhantomUpvoter suggested look into threading. I'd recommend Asynchronous programming or Background Workers too. You should be getting a fair knowledge about each of these by reading below links. Pick 1 to your liking :)

Threading C#[^]
Calling Synchronous Methods Asynchronously[^]
BackgroundWorker Class[^]

Hope this helps, regards
