For an application I was writing I require the ComboBox to display the open COM Ports for the user to select and therefore I wrote...
For Each CommCtrl.Commport ()
cmbPort.Items.Add(CommCtrl.CommID)
Next
However I seem to be getting a syntax error after the CommPort().
Firstly, is this the right sort of code to use? and if it is how can I remove the syntax error from this section?
Go to the online help in Visual Studio and paste this link into the URL line:
ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.VisualStudio.v80.en/dv_vbalr/html/ebce3120-95c3-42b1-b70b-fa7da40c75e2.htm
Thanks for the help... but the website/page doesn't open. 'The Page Cannot Be Displayed'.
Anything else I could do?
You need to paste that link into the online help page within Visual Studio.
Open Visual Studio, Click On Help.
Paste it in the URL line on the help page
Yea, I did that...I get the error page, lyk the one you get in internet explorer.

After you paste it in. Remove the http:// and put back in the ":" after
"ms-help" It shouldn't read like this:
http://ms-help//MS.VSCC.v80/MS.MSDN....7da40c75e2.htm
It should read like this:
ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.VisualStudio.v80.en/dv_vbalr/html/ebce3120-95c3-42b1-b70b-fa7da40c75e2.htm
Just look up "for each" in the MSDN library. It will show you what the correct syntax is.
Got it, the code was wrong. Thanks anyways
