    Text2.Text = MSComm1.OutBufferCount

    but it is always returning 0

    If it returns "0" then the bytes where send and the buffer is empty now. However it will not say that your receiver did receive it! If you have 2 comports on your PC just connect them to each other with a "0-modem" (wires are crossed) cable. Listen on the other port with a terminal program.
