Hi

Im in the proccess of developing and application which
needs to communicate with some external hardware and i
therefor need to be able to recieve data from the
parallel/seriel port on a computer.
It's not PC hardware which i am trying to develop a
driver for, but som external measuring equipment which
sends data through the parallel/seriel port.

How can i do this with .NET? And if not, is there ANY way
i can use .NET for my application except for the port
communication(Maybe interop)?

Any help is greatly apreciated.

Kind regards
Michael Lykke

here is a very good start point for you,
