serial port component

[sebastianochoa]

Hello, how can i integrate a component in VB.Net for
comunication with the serial port.
In Vb 6.0 i used the MSComm.
Thank you.

If your component is a COM component, you can use it with a wrapper. When I
add a reference in a .NET project, you can add a COM reference too. VS will
wrap this COM in a .NET class. But I heard in the Net Microsoft has released
a component for serial port. I think it is released with Visual Basic .NET
Resource Kit.

Hope this could help you

Hi,

You can download NETComm.ocx from my homepage. It provides the same API as
did MSComm. There are LOTS of .NET serial IO classes available. I have one
in my book (see below), and you will find a number of others online. Sax
Comm .NET is a commercial product that you would want to consider if you
need error-checked file transfers (www.sax.net).
