Comm Port

[Nwulf]

I am trying to communicate with the comm port but am having no luck. I have a program that monitors a scale, which is connected through comm1. I need to communicate with the scale via .Net and display the scale reading on the monitor. I have looked throught MSs help site and there is a sample program...but I cant get it to work...lot of "other" stuff I dont need.

Here is the settings that I need to have when I communicate with the scale: 1200 Baud, Even Parity, 7 Databits, Stop 1.

I really dont think that there is a whole lot I need. I am not sure if I need to user CreateFile and use comm1, or what.

??? ???


Thanks...

Nick

Youd be best using VB6, and the MSComm control that ships with it.

Unfortunately serial communications is not currently a part of the .net framework, so youll have to go the C++ route it would seem.
