reading data in serial port

[fguihen]

hi all. i got a creative labs remote control that connects in the serial port. i have the drivers loaded on, and i have a simple program in c# ucing createFile() from the Win32 lib, and then i ceate a file stream to read in data. there are 2 or 3 read methods, and i cant get any of them to work. my program just stops on the read part, and even though im pointing my remote at the reciever and pressing buttons, the program is still reading nothing in the serial port. i have checked coms and all that . its on com3. any ideas??
