visual basic and pic

HI ALL,

Can anybody tell me how can I send ascii code from the visual basic to the pic microcontroller, by using rs232 and max232 from com1, for example I want to send ‘0’ to the pic which d’48’ how can I do that ?

i'm trying to create command button and config as '0' and when i'm clicking to this button it's sending d'48' to the pic. (not specific '0' keyboard key)
so can anybody provide me with program can do that,

thanks

hello to you all,

first thanks alot for the reply,

let have example to understand that better , to create command button in the visual basic and lets say if i press this button it's gonna send the character '0' which is d'48'(ACSII CODE) to the pic first i've to configure the MScomm

i did that so far :

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub cboBaud_Click()
 
On Error GoTo BaudErr
 
If MSComm1.PortOpen Then
  MSComm1.PortOpen = False
End If
MSComm1.Settings = cboBaud.Text & ",n,8,1"
MSComm1.PortOpen = True
 
BaudErr:
 
If Err <> 0 Then
  MsgBox Error$(Err)
End If
  
End Sub

so now, the problem how i'm going to send the d'48' to the pic,

thanks

MSComm1.Output=Chr(48)

or

MSComm1.Output="0"
