An attempt to set the state of the underlying port failed. For example, the parameters passed from this SerialPort object were invalid.

The stream is closed. This can occur because the Open() method has not been called or the Close() method has been called.

Remarks

This property is used in Data Set Ready/Data Terminal Ready (DSR/DTR) handshaking. The Data Set Ready (DSR) signal is usually sent by a modem to a port to indicate that it is ready for data transmission or data reception.
