Windows Forms, SerialPort

[JelloneKXX]

Hello
I need to read 13 bytes useing Serial Port.
Only funcion that i think can do this is "Read(..)"
https://msdn.microsoft.com/pl-pl/library/34t733fh%28v=vs.110%29.aspx

I'm trying to do this in this way:

array<wchar_t>^ shiit = gcnew array <wchar_t>(13);
 
try {
    this->serialPort1->Read(shiit, 0, 13);
    String^ aha = dynamic_cast<String^> (shiit);
    this->textBox1->Text = aha;
     }
    catch (TimeoutException^) {
    this->textBox1->Text = "Timeout Exception";
     }

And it does not work.
I think that the reason is wrong converting way (array^ of char -> String^)
But i really dont know how to do it correctly.
Can u help me, please?

Try this:

int count = this->serialPort1->Read(shiit, 0, 13);
if (count > 0)
   this->textBox1->Text = gcnew String(shiit);
else
   this->textBox1->Text = "No bytes read";
