Hi, I am sure this is a very easy question for most of you, but forgive me.

I need to read the Serial Error. Something along the lines of...

private void serialPort1_ErrorReceived(object sender, System.IO.Ports.SerialErrorReceivedEventArgs e)
       {
           SerialError = String CommErr;

       }

I know its a type but dont know how to read it to a message box.

Many many thanks.

When declaring and instantiating a variable, the datatype always goes on the left. It should be something like this:

string CommErr = SerialError;

Now depending on what SerialError is, you might need to call the ToString() or a property that displays its text value.

Also, it's not a string. Please see my answer. It's really difficult to help, at this phase...

Probably you mean SerialErrorReceivedEventArgs.EventType, its type is not string but System.IO.Ports.SerialError:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.ports.serialerrorreceivedeventargs.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.ports.serialerrorreceivedeventargs.eventtype.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.ports.serialerror.aspx[^].

So, it could be

C#

System.IO.Ports.SerialError error = e.EventType;

Look, no matter what you want to achieve, it's apparent from your attempt to write code, that it is absolutely useless to write anything at all, at this level of knowledge. You can come back after you read some manual on programming, .NET and language from the very first page and learn how to write basic exercises. Think it would need too much time? But if you don't do it, you can waste a lot more, waste, instead of using time.
