Hi, all! Using VS.Net '03 under Win2k3 Server; clients will be XP, Win2k...
I'm just beginning to look into how I would go about building serial
communication apps in VB.Net, and am not sure where to begin looking for
info, libraries, etc. The applications will basically query serial devices
for whatever info they contain, clear it, etc...
Can someone suggest some starting points for me on this? I saw one brief
blurb that suggested possibly using the old MSComm component, but I was
hoping there might be a better managed solution for .Net.
All suggestions welcome! Thanks!

Dick, thanks for responding!
In checking Amazon, it says that it would take 8-9 weeks for delivery; is
your book out of print, or a small-market publishing?

The considerations for .NET are no different than with earlier versions of
VB. What have you done before? I have example code in my book (see

Hi,

<<
No, it very much is "in print." However, as you guessed, the market is
small enough that Amazon does not keep them in stock. An annoying fact is
that Amazon demands such a large discount from publishers for the books that
they stock that Amazon's cost would be below our actual publishing expense!
It is tough to sell a product for negative profit.
I wanted to keep the nominal "retail" cost of the book below $40, which
isn't easy for a book that includes a CD ROM. If we had charged $50 for the
book, so that we could have Amazon stock it, we'd just break even.
All-in-all, I think we made the right choice, though this does reduce its
sales volume.
So, the easiest and fastest way to order is directly from the publisher at www.mabry.com/vbpgser. They ship by Priority Mail as their normal delivery
mechanism, so it takes only a few days. However, you can specify Overnight
shipping if you need it RSN. This costs extra, of course.

I'd like to write a program in VB.Net that handles serial communications to
several devices. VB.Net 2003 does not have adequate built-in serial

any reason I can't get the Beta and create the program with serial

In text mode the data from the device comes in like this:

S is the start of the line, ~ indicates a good read, B is a blank reading,
and the numbers 1-6 correspond to a location on the device for a line. So
there are six positions on the line...
