    Controlling a Lamp Circuit

    So I have a simple circuit - just a lamp and a battery. I want to put something inbetween said lamp and battery that will connect to my pc (LPT/COM) so I can switch it on and off via my C# application.

    Do any libraries exist for communicating with such devices? And I've never made anything to interface with a computer, so does anyone have any idea how to do the electronics part of it?

    I've searched the forum for COM and LPT connections and come accross a load of VB6 stuff and people go on about creating a driver circuit.... can anyone help?

    Thanks,
    -Tom
