Serial Communication

[gks]

Hi All,

I am looking out for some third party communication software/dll that can be plugged into my software developed in VB for transmitting files. I will be requiring a modem based file transfer software and a TCP/IP based software.

If anyone knows about such a software/dll that can be distributed, please let me know. I am also interested in knowing how to do such a thing in VB. I am new to this area.

Thanks
Gks

If you have MSDN library installed, then you can get the MSComm sample project file at the sample folder as "\...\MSDN\2000JAN\1033\Samples\VB98\Mscomm" or try to search at following web site

• Planet Source Code
• MSDN Online Code Center

Inside VB itself got the ActiveX control namely MSComm32.ocx
U can use it for serial communication.

Hi All,

Thanks for the info. But I am looking out for some ready made dlls or programs which will do it for me. If I use the
MSCOMM control, I will have to code for it right.

Thanks for ur replies. Will look into the options.

Thanks
