    You use the CreateFile api, then use ReadFile, CloseFile.

    However it's more complicated than that. You actually have to create events see this page:

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...sdn_serial.asp

    I know. It's C++, but it explains what you have to do, and will give you an idea of why using the MSComm control is a better choice for this.
