Is there a class library for serial communication, like MSComm in

Is there a class library for serial communication. I suppose I could use the
VB6 OCX MSComm32.ocx but this would not make a "pure" vb.net program. I have
looked but failed to find anything.

Hi,

There are lots of these around. I have one in my book, and you can download
two others from microsoft (for example,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/dow...s/default.asp). Also, you
can get the free Visual Basic Resource Kit from Microsoft. I has in it the
Sax Communications Community Edition .NET Serial control. If you google,
you will find several others.

Or, you can download NETComm.ocx from my homepage. It is an AX control, but
it doesn't have any of the licensing issues that MSComm32.ocx has.
