Microsoft Communications control

[Steve Liebenberg]

I have used the ms comms control extensively in my vb6
prof. developments which I am in the process of converting
to vb.net.
However, I do not seem to find the comms control in
the .net toolbar. How can I register this control in .net?

If you really want to use the MSCOMM32.ocx with VB.NET then to add it to the toolbox, right click on the toolbox, select "Add/Remove items...", select the "COM Componets" tab and tick "Microsoft Communications Control". Press OK and you should have it in your toolbox

If you have the time I would rewrite the code. Have a look at

I know its C# and this is a vb newsgroup but the principles are the same
