I'm interested in building a class library for accessing home control
devices in C#. To do this I need to access RS232 serial and USB ports.

Try as I might, I haven't been able to find any useful information on how to
connect to the ports and transfer data to and from these ports.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? ...To some sample code?

Thanks!

Thank you. This appears to be just what I need for RS232 communications.
Do you know of anything similar for USB communications (or can this be
adapted for USB as well)?
