Re: White Paper Discuss: 2004 .NET dashboard control dll

6. Draw the dashreader anywhere on the form--it disappears at runtime.

The "Port" property determines which port it tries to connect to. Use the "start()" method to actually connect to that port. The "NewPacket()" event is raised whenever a new packet of data is read. There are methods that return values for all of the data sent to the dashboard port (except for mode variables--I don't know how to interpret them).

Hmm, is it okay if I wait to release the source until I'm asbolutely certain the new control is accurate? Otherwise, let me know and I'll upload it ASAP.
I keep receiving an exception when "InitializeComponent()" is called on the form...

I get this in debug:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in dashBoard-uG.exe

Additional information: File or assembly name dashreader, or one of its dependencies, was not found.

Any clues?
