Reading COM port in Binary mode

[tapsto]

I am openning a COM port and reading data. The data coming to the COM port
is "Odd parity". When I read the data from the COM port the parity bit is
stripped. How to I configure it such that the parity bit is preserved.

Thanks

psuedo code:
CreateFile( "COM1", GENERIC_READ, .....)
....
SetCommState(....
SetCommTimeouts(...
.....
WaitCommEvent( .....
....
ReadFile(

To preserve the parity bit set the parity to None and use 8 databits.
