Converting VB 2003 to VB 2005

[cmdolcet69]

I have seen some code in VB 2005 that will write a function to a
device:

me.serialPort1.writeline("[VER]")


How can i call this in VB 2003

my code is below:

Private comm1 As MSComm

comm1.Output = ("[VER]")

When i compile this i get an error. The VB 2005 Code works how can i
get my VB 2003 code to work?

Yes, the serial port BCL is avbl only from .NET 2.0.

You will have to use the Mscomm way to do it in 1.1.

Hi,

You can download DesktopSerialIO.dll from my homepage. This .NET dll is
free, and it is simple to use. The download includes an example.

You receive an error message "You do not have a license to use this control"
when you use Visual Basic 6.0 controls in Visual Studio 2005 or in Visual
Studio .NET
