~~Please stop re-posting. This is the question #3 on the same topic. As this one is more detailed, I'll remove the first one.~~

Look here, everyone:

What is that? Same person? Same school? It's a shame.

What are you doing? MessageBox is a blocking call, how can you mix it with communications? Generally, the communication APIs are also based on some blocking calls, so in a real-life code they can be executed in a separate thread. To start development, start with a simple console application.

The second thing is: nothing really hangs. Your read operation is a blocking call. When you finish your ReadTo depends on what happens on the opposite end of your RS-232 cable. Who knows what do you have there?
