MSComm32.ocx - continued VS Studio .net 2003

Tazz

For those, like me still running VS Studio .net 2003, and having to deal with
the exclusion of native support for legacy serial ports, a bit of good news!.

I just found out that VS Studio .net 2005, to be released officially on the
7th November, apparently WILL HAVE support for serial ports, provided by the
namespace "System.IO.Ports" which contains a class called "SerialPort".

If you are unable to migrate to 2005, then the following solution dubbed
"Serial Communications The .NET Way"
provided by: Timothy J. Krell (SAIC), email: tj*****@comcast.net. could well
be the temporary answer your looking for. His solution still relies on the
old Win32 library calls, packaged in wrapper classes. He is providing this
solution under the 'Open Source License'. This is third party software and is
not supported by Microsoft.

Enjoy
Tazz
