Communication

[André Almeida Maldonado]

Hey Guys,

I need to communicate with a COM1 port. I can do it with the BaseComm class
from Micrsoft. But I need to listen the answer from the printer, and with
this class I can't do it....

Any idea????

Thank's

Hi,

The class from Microsoft "should" do the job. Why is it that you cannot use
it?

You can download NETComm.ocx from my homepage and I have my own class in my
book (see below), too. Also, there are a number of others available on the
Internet, including a version of Sax Com .NET in the Visual Basic .NET
Resource Kit, which may be downloaded from Microsoft, or ordered on CD-ROM
for a small shipping fee. The Resource Kit has lots of other useful tools,
too.
