Thanks for the links.
I guess MS released a VB.Net Resource Kit that includes a component that
adds serial communication functionality.

Hi All,

I am eager to learn and start programming with .Net, initially with VB.Net.
I thought that it might help the learning process by converting one of my
VB6 programs to VB.Net to understand all the differences.
The program that I was going to convert was one that uses the MSComm control
that comes with VB6. When reading the .Net Framework documentation, I
realized that there is no equivalent class, at least not yet.

I know that I can use Win32 APIs to add this functionality but the great
thing about the MSComm control was that it masked the "ugliness" and
complexity of the APIs.
Has anyone found a good replacement for the MSComm control for .Net?

Thanks,
JR
