    Hardware Input/Output ?

    How can I read and write to any hardware ? Or the COM Port would be enough. Using VB .NET and Windows XP.
    Thanks...

    Thank you, [KeLi F.K.A Zleepy].

    If you want to read/write to a COM port, you can use the Microsoft Communications Control - is a COM component not a .NET component. It is not in your toolbox by default, so you'll have to add it.

    Other way ?

    Is there any other way to read/write to a hardware device, or com port ? Not Using Microsoft Communications Control.

    Thanks...

    That I've never done, but I _think_ you would have to interface with the system .dlls - Windows API stuff.

    See if this link does what you want. I found this cause I am going to make software to communicate with the GM OBD2 diagnostics to read trouble codes and the sensors in realtime.
