Im new to .net. I would like to upgrade an existing application to .net and
add USB support.
How do i write a .net application with USB support?
We used "mscomm" in vs 6 for serial (rs232) ports. Is there a similar driver
in .net for USB ports? any tutorial page out there?
Thanks in advance,
Aaron

USB is a /bus/, not a port. Typically communication with a special device
is done over DLLs/drivers provided by the connected device's manufacturer.

so how can i read data from the usb port, since i am the device
manufacturer.
for serial ports i just need to load the mscomm.dll and start reading.

Hi
If you've been using mscomm, then following this link: http://www.hardandsoftware.net/
will get you started - Dick Grier's website / book are a good place to get
the information you need.

If you're saying that you can just treat the device like a serial port, then
there's a number of libraries out there that provide serial support for
..NET: http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/U...4-dfe325097c69
Here's one that's supposed to be very similar to mscomm: http://www.gotdotnet.com/workspaces/...2-9dcbcf79e1fb

im very suprised by the amount of documentation available on this topic. i
thought there would be a dedicated class in the .net framework for this
purpose, since most devices use USB nowadays.

I think the problem is that writing a USB driver is still a low level
function - .NET 1.0 doesn't expose enough low level functions to allow you
to write a USB driver effective. As a result, you need to write the USB
driver in a language like C++ and then expose the device via an API to
..NET. In short, I don't think you can access USB hardware directly without
an interface or a specialized component like DriverX for USB.

Hi,
You can use any serial port methods. You can download NETComm.ocx from my
homepage, for example. There are a number of .NET serial port classes
available for download, and I have one in my book, with lots of examples,
naturally. Also, there is a .NET serial dll in the Visual Basic Developer's
kit, which is available from Microsoft (free download).

If I have a machine with 3 virtual IP addresses (192.168.1.), how
can I start 3 instances of the same RMI application (each started with
different properties/configs), each listening on the port 1234, but each
instance binds to a different ip address.
that is to say:
instance #1 binds to 192.168.1.5/port 1234
instance #2 binds to 192.168.1.6/port 1234
instance #3 binds to 192.168.1.7/port 1234

After a server accepts a client connection on a certain port, a new socket is
created on the server on a system managed dynamic port to handle the
connection. Please confirm this.
If so, how can I get the number of the dynamic port in the server (in server
code)? Using LocalEndPoint.Port just returns the original listener port
number.

Hi all,
I've implemented a TCP server using the Socket async methods.
When connecting to the server from 3 instances of hyper terminal,
i've noticed that each of the newly created server sockets, uses the same
server port.
I assumed that a new connection will receive a unique port.
If this is the way its suppose to work, is it a performance issue?
Is it possible that connections from the same IP will connect on the same
server port?
