Hi,
please don't tell me there is no other posibility to access the serial
port than using the createfile(...) func?
I was so convinced of .NET until this! Can somebody please provide me
with an answer, which shows I'm wrong!?!

The .Net Framwork v1.1 doesn't include a communications class library...
BUT, you can use MSCOMM from visual basic 6 in .Net
Look at this like for details: http://www.devhood.com/tutorials/tut...utorial_id=320
I'm using this method in one of my projects and it seems to be running
smoothly.

In this version It's the only way.
Hi Martin,
Beside the community's reply, I will provide you another MSDN article about
serial port communication, FYI:
"Use P/Invoke to Develop a .NET Base Class Library for Serial Device
Communications" http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is...netserialcomm/
The more I want to point out is that, if you want to specify Serial Ports
larger than COM9, you need different syntax, please refer to: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];115831
Thank you for your patience and cooperation. If you have any questions or
concerns, please feel free to post it in the group. I am standing by to be
of assistance.

Hi,
decided to use the P/Invoke solution. It works pretty good! Eventhough
it was a little bit hard in the beginning to figure out why the COM1 and
the LCD where not talking with eachother [Dough...] but you shouldn't
communicate Unicode with this type of hardware ;-)
Thanks for your help,
Martin
