Monitor Serial Port

[Sarah]

How can I monitor the serial port on the computer continuously for data -
i.e. I want to listen for data and then perform some action in my program
based on the data it reads?

The visual basic.net resource kit comes with the sax.net community
edition which will help. See the samples included.
