Converting VB 2003 to VB 2005

I have seen some code in VB 2005 that will write a function to a
device:

me.serialPort1. writeline("[VER]")
How can i call this in VB 2003

my code is below:

Private comm1 As MSComm

comm1.Output = ("[VER]")

When i compile this i get an error. The VB 2005 Code works how can i
get my VB 2003 code to work?

Yes, the serial port BCL is avbl only from .NET 2.0.

You will have to use the Mscomm way to do it in 1.1.

This tutorial may be of help:

Hi,

You can download DesktopSerialIO .dll from my homepage. This .NET dll is
free, and it is simple to use. The download includes an example.

VS 2005 uses Partial Classes to keep the designer-generated code separate from the user-created code. Obviously VS 2003 doesn't. However, when converting from 2003 to 2005, it doesn't split the code out into partial classes. Is there any way to do so automatically?

Having problems converting Murach's Beginning Visual Basic.net (Prince) and Microsoft Press' Programming Visual Basic.net (Balena) examples for use in VB.net 2005 Express. The VS conversion wizard has not been able to convert any of them. These are just two example sources of many. What should I be doing to convert these samples, or should I reinstall VB.net 2003?

I had a copy of a project that was working in Visual Studio 2003 and Framework 1.1. After a computer crash, I was given VS 2005 and am having more than a little difficulty getting things to open in VS 2005. At first, I tried converting the project. That failed (it brought in all the junk I had in my source folder). As Plan B, I created a new website, using Visual Web Developer, and

I am converting a small VB.NET 2003 application over to VS 2005. I ran it thru the 'upgrade' wizard which prompty upgraded it without any real issues (except some warnings). However, I did notice that it didn't really take advantage of the new 'My Project' system folder and namespace - i.e. the AssemblyInfo.vb was still in the main app, along with app.config, etc etc. In order to take advantage of the My Project (i.e. My namespace)...
