Hi!

I've worked in a project. It is currently working with the Hyper Terminal (BUT) I want to use Visual Studio instead. Where can I find a clue to start my job?

What I'm looking for is:
How the data or commands are being sent/received between the Microcontroller & the Graphical Interface (PC) ?
 

can you tell me more specific what do you want?
do you use port paralel/serial..
using USB port, Or RS232??


but that i know is, you must setting your vb project first, if you want to interface your pc with some other device such as microcontroller..


click project-->>component-->>microsoft windows common control

correct me if I wrong...

thx..

Visual basic comes with built in activex control for serial port communication. I think it is called MsComm activex control. Refer to the following link for more info.
 


you may check this #1261232 code for serial port communication in VB.Net to replace hyper terminal function with VB.NET GUI

using mscomm activex is always good, as u amy have vb.net tehn u have a flexibility to use the the active x control in ur code
 

Thanks guys for your help.

Your links are really helpful ..

I got a sample program and i want to understand it well...
Can I ask here about the codes of vb.net?
