Could C# and MSCOMM work together to support serial port commnication?

[dalewz]

Hi,

I am thinking to use C# and MSCOMM in MS VS.net to support GUI and
serial port communication. Is this possible?

I know that VB and C++ can.

Thanks. -Dale

Jamie,

Thanks a lot. The link is very useful.

By the way, have you used Ethernet driver with C#? I heard that this
is doable by opening a socket, but I want to know more.

Best, -Dale

this article provides a library written in C# to control COMM port without
using MSCOMM but rather by P/Invoking Win32 API. It can be useful if you
want to get rid of old OCX tech...
