VB.net sending G-Code

Hey Guys!

I'm trying to send a simple G-Code to my Prusa i3 via SerialPort in vb.net. I've tried it with

SerialPort1.write("G28") << going home

my SerialPort Settings are:

BaudRate: 115200
DataBits: 8
DiscardNull: False
DtrEnable: False
Handshake: None
Parity: None
ParityReplace: 63
PortName: COM4
ReadBufferSize: 4096
ReadTimeout: -1
ReceivedBytesThreshold: 1
RtsEnable: False
StopBits: One
WriteBufferSize: 2048
WriteTimeout: -1

And if I send some G-Code it does absolutely nothing. Is here someone who did something like that before?

King regards

You might need some sort of carriage return or line feed or end of transmission marker for the printer to know it got a complete command and it's not waiting for more before processing.
