I have an Arduino connected to an interface I made. Everything is working fine, however the Arduino is sending a string to the interface. The program is reading the data, and storing it in a variable.
The problem I am having is that the variable stores the data, but doesn't update it when new data is coming in from the Arduino .

int irisvalue;
string myString;
string s = "";
//String s2;
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
//Load += new EventHandler(Form1_Load);
connectbtn.Text = "Connect";
disconnect.Text = "Disconnect";
this.connectbtn.Click += new EventHandler(connectbtn_Click);
