using vb 6 comm control in vb.net

[David]

I am trying to use the vb 6 comm control in a vb.net
project. I am sending ok, but for some reason can not
receive anything. I tried using the oncomm event which
never is fired. I also just tried to use the input method
which always returns Nothing. Does the vb 6 comm control
work in vb.net?

MSComm is "out of date" and should not be used.

Hi,

You can download NETComm.ocx from my homepage. It is free, and functionally
equivalent to MSComm32.ocx.
