MSCommLib

[Guest]

Hi,
Im developing an C# app and I am needing the MSCommLib component. Is it
correct that it comes with Visual Studio 6.0?

How can I get it? Is it possible do download.

Thanks
Julia

I think that you need Visual Studio 6. See:

Hi,

The easiest way is to download NETComm.ocx from my homepage. This is a
wrapper for MSComm32.ocx (where MSCommLib resides).

However, another alternative might be to download DesktopSerialIO.dll from
my homepage. It too is free, and provides a complete native serial assembly
that is easily used from C#, and requires no other external components. The
API is similar to that of MSComm, and it may be used outside of the
STAThread (which MSComm cannot).
