I need to write a program that takes data from a balance connected via serial
port. In vb I would use the MSComm object. What is available in vb.net??

Thanks
Mike

Mike,

There isn't anything native in .NET to talk to the Serial Port, there will
be in the next version. You can still use the MSComm object by adding a
reference, the IDE will create a .NET Interop wrapper class that you can then
use in your .NET code.

I have been using saxcomm for both vb and .net for some time now.
