iam handling 2 projects in which i have to communicate hardware
components(Receivers) using RS 232, RS 422, USB. i installed .NET 2003 in my
system. but this is not supporting serial interface. icame to know that 2005
version is implementing but i want to confirm whether USB and serial
interface can be implemented. please reply me as soon as possible. if this
facility is not provided i have to change my development environment.thanq

Arpitha,

Out-of-the-box, .NET 1.1 and earlier does not support serial interfaces.
However, .NET 2.0 has support for it (through the System.IO.Ports
namespace).

As for USB, there isn't a native .NET solution for interfacing with it.

However, for both, you should be able to make calls to unmanaged
functions or COM objects that will handle this through the P/Invoke layer or
the COM interop layer (and there is support in the Win32 API for each).

Hope this helps.
