Hi,
I'm totally new to programming involving serial port communication. I'm using Visual Studio 1.0 (2001) and there is no default communication control available to me, at least that I can find. Is there a control that allows me to communicate with the serial port, and, if not, is there some other way to communicate with such a dusty version of VB?

Welcome to the forums. :wave:
It has been so long since I've seen the very first version of .NET that I can't remember what was and what was not included in it.
You do know that you can get the free, express, version of VB.NET 2008 from Microsofts web site don't you?
Everything's going much smoother since I switched to VB 2008 Express. However, I've run into a small issue. I'm trying to upgrade some software, and it was originally written using the MSCOMM.vbx library. I'm using the SerialPort class in VB 2008. I'm trying to figure out how to set the length of the input that comes from the input buffer. For example, using MSCOMM, the expression is : Comm1.InputLen = 0
I've searched through all of the members of the SerialPort class on the MSDN website and haven't found a solution. Any suggestions?
