Re: serial port using c#

I was searching for driver access for .NET a year back. Couldnt find any. In the end, used PInvoke to call winAPI functions. Worked great!

Re: serial port using c#

If you are using .NET 1, you must use P/Invoke or get an ActiveX control to do that. (Look at CodeProject for the P/Invoke case).

If you use NET 2.0 Beta you get classes to access the serial ports included in the framework. I've used them and they work .

You can't use Visual Studio 2003 with the .NET 2 Beta, so, use Visual Studio Express ( free ) or get a beta of Visual Studio 2005.

Hope this helps you
