mscomm & vb6/.net

[peter]

currently have learningedition of vb6. Want to use mscomm
however need vbctrls.reg to do that. Is this file
available anywhere?

If not is mscomm suppled with the standartd version of
vb.net

Hi,

MSComm is not furnished with any version of .NET. There are a number of
classes available online, and I have one in my book (see below), with other
examples.

Perhaps the easiest thing to do is to download NETComm.ocx from my homepage.
It is free, and provides MSComm functionality.

To be clear. NETComm.ocx works with VB6 Learning Edition (and Standard),
too.

Hi,

On the Visual Studio (or Basic) CDs in the Extras/VB6 Controls
folder you find VB6Controls.reg. It contains the design time licenses for
the VB6 ActiveX controls.
