I'd like to use mscomm control in VB, but I can't find it! I'm using VB.NET 7.1

The damn help system doesn't give any info about serial port, mscomm control and so on. I'm here unable to open a com port and to receive data from an RS232 device....

Thanks a lot for any possible help, and greetings from sunny Italy.

 

try to find it in the project menu/Components.

Should be there.

Have fun

Read this article/code sample from Microsoft:

Visual Basic .NET Code Sample:
Using the COM Port in VB.NET

This should work fine for you.

 

Use this implementation. It is using calls to the necessary WinAPI functions for using the COM ports.

By the way. MSComm is not part of VB.NET (was part of VB6) and there are no corresponding classes for COM ports at the moment in the .NET Framework (v1.1).
