Re: need help with serial port control

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,

I suggest that you download DesktopSerialIO from my homepage. It is free,
and simple to use. If you want documentation in detail, I suggest my book
(see below, it also will give you details on MSComm, which is the axMSComm
control that you are seeing as "available."). There are licensing issues
with MSComm, that can be solved... But the easiest thing is to use a native
..NET object like my serial port class.

Another alternative is to download NETComm.ocx from my homepage. Both
DesktopSerialIO and NETComm.ocx include a simple example application in the
download.

If you upgrade to Visual Studio 2005 you will be able to use the built-in
System.IO.Ports class.
