RS232.VB problem

[Tony Papadimitriou]

Hi all,

I've written an app using RS232.VB (by Keith Langer 2/5/02 -- Modified to
handle overlapped IO and provide asynchronous read/write) and the executable
works as expected under XP Pro but, the RS232 portion of the app doesn't
work under Win98SE.

Any ideas?

TIA

Tony.

Hi,

No idea. I don't do any work for 9x anymore.

However, if I may ask, why are you writing your own serial code? Why not
just use something "off-the-shelf?" For example, have you tried my
DesktopSerialIO dll? It is a free download, and it is simple to use.
Then... You can tell me if it works under 9x -- where I no longer go.

You also can use the free Sax Communications Community Edition serial
control (part of the VB .NET Resource Kit), to see what it does under 9x.
