While it is certainly possible, there no need to utilize the legacy VB6, all of the most recent releases of the Visual Studio .NET, provide a serial port class which supports interfacing directly to a serial COM port, utilizing VB.NET, C#.NET or managed C++.NET. Microsoft also offers "Express" versions of Visual Studio .NET for free download and use, simple choose the programming language which you are are most comfortable.

Also, many of the recent Windows based applications which with builtin graphing capabilities, provide the means to interface and retrieve data via serial COM port, like MATLAB or applications which support Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) like Excel.

you use Visual Studio C#, C++ and VB.NET to plot graphs, e.g.

@Arya Kumar

Could you recommend me some website to study QT, I am interesting in it.

JUst download QT MIGGW from QT site..
they have sample projects..!!
u can just play with those sample files and learn!!

Another very simple interface way is doing via Matlab.
there u can also easily perform operations with the received data.

I'm using Lazarus, the free Delphi knock-off. There's a serial port add-on, and add-ons for just about everything. The Pascal like style is easy to get to grips with. Disappointingly, Java and actionscript won't do serial port without jumping through multiple third party loops.
