Serial IO: CreateFile & CloseHandle in managed class

I'm looking to do some basic (to begin with anyway) Serial IO in a __gc
class. I use this code open a port:

m_hSerialComm = CreateFile(Lpst rPort, GENERIC_READ|GE NERIC_WRITE, 0, 0,
OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_FLAG_NO_BU FFERING, 0);

I was able to write successfully, but the following code hangs:

if(m_hSerialCom m != INVALID_HANDLE_ VALUE) {
CloseHandle(m_h SerialComm);
m_hSerialComm = INVALID_HANDLE_ VALUE;
}

Looking at m_hSerialComm in the debugger states that its value is
'{void}'. My only guess is that the problem stems from being within a
managed class... any help?

Hi, I'm a newbie to programming of any kind. I have posted this to other groups in a hope to get a response from anyone. Can any one tell me how to make my VB program read the Bios serial number (or would HDD be better, or both?) and put that info into VB prog so the program won't work on another computer. My program uses an MSAccess table. Much appreciated if you can help! Thanks

Is there any way of simply using the COM port from Visual Basic? All the solutions I've found seem to require the use of Visual Studio whereas I only have the the 'basic' version. I'm not after anything too complicated as all I want to do is read a serial stream of data. Thanks in advance

I wrote a program that communicate with SerialComm. In every 300 milliseconds, my program continuously send & receive data via the serial port once the program starts.

In order to fix this, I have to close the port and reopen the port again. Why?!! Is there any way to fix...

Below is the code in Managed C++. It was originally written in C, and posted somewhere around the Internet (I forgot where I copied this code), and I changed it into Managed C++. This code returnes the serial string like "WD-WC1234567" of the hard disk where C drive is on. Now, I would like to change this code into C#, but there are so many API's, structures and macroes. I've searched the Internet for equivalent C# code but I couldn't...
