[2008] SerialPort DataRCV Handler

I have a SerialPort DataReceived Handler that I am fond of. So I thought why not move it to it's own Module and re-use it.

Well, that didn't work out well, even though I got it to work.

So how would you go about having a generic SerialPort DataReceived Handler?
(I have been copy / pasting the code)

Something like this maybe?

vb.net Code:

Public Class SerialPortDataReceiver
 
    Private comPort As System.IO.Ports.SerialPort = Nothing
    Private _DisplayControl As Control = Nothing
 
    Public Sub New(ByVal serialPort As System.IO.Ports.SerialPort)
        Me.comPort = serialPort
        AddHandler Me.comPort.DataReceived, AddressOf SerialPortDataReceived
        Me.OpenPort()
    End Sub
 
    Public Sub New(ByVal serialPort As System.IO.Ports.SerialPort, ByVal displayControl As Control)
        Me.comPort = serialPort
        AddHandler Me.comPort.DataReceived, AddressOf SerialPortDataReceived
        Me._DisplayControl = displayControl
        Me.OpenPort()
    End Sub
 
    Public Property DisplayControl() As Control
        Get
            Return Me._DisplayControl
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As Control)
            Me._DisplayControl = value
        End Set
    End Property
 
    Public ReadOnly Property SerialPort() As System.IO.Ports.SerialPort
        Get
            Return Me.comPort
        End Get
    End Property
 
    Private Sub SerialPortDataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, _
                    ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs)
        If Me._DisplayControl IsNot Nothing Then
            Me._DisplayControl.Invoke(New myDelegate(AddressOf UpdateDisplayControlText), New Object() {})
        End If
    End Sub
 
    Private Delegate Sub myDelegate()
 
    Private Sub UpdateDisplayControlText()
        Dim intBytesAvailable As Integer = comPort.BytesToRead
        If intBytesAvailable > 0 Then
            Me._DisplayControl.Text = comPort.ReadExisting()
        End If
    End Sub
 
    Public Sub SendCommand(ByVal command As String)
        If Me.comPort.IsOpen() Then
            Me.comPort.Write(command)
        Else
            MessageBox.Show(Me.comPort.PortName & " is closed!")
        End If
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub OpenPort()
        If Not Me.comPort.IsOpen Then
            Try
                Me.comPort.Open()
            Catch ex As Exception
                Throw New IO.IOException("Can not open serial port " & Me.comPort.PortName, ex)
            End Try
        End If
    End Sub
End Class
