Using core.dll for raw ir comsumer

[agus]

Hi, I've read all the post here about using core.dll and CreateFile
function to operate with serial port. I do my best but I cannot make it
work. I'm working with C#. I was wondering if someone has some code or
can give me some explanation for reading from a serial port (ir port)
using core.dll CreateFile and ReadFile functions.
I want to loop until something is in the port. I need to implement a
raw IR comsumer.
Thank you in advance.

Consumer IR is no simple thing - you can't just open the port and bang out
data - there are timings and carriers to look at. A good coverage with some
code can be found here:

It uses the audio port, but the theory of operation is no different.
