Hi

Looking for pure .NET replacements of the above OCXs.
Same interfaces are required to ease upgrade of existing code using them.
Pure .NET implementation needed because the code will also live on CE.NET
(No COM Interop or .Compatibility namespace etc)

Are replacements available and where please?

Cheers
Daniel

There are no direct replacements for these controls.  You'll need to write
code using the various namespaces to replace the functionality or pursue a
3rd party alternative if available.

Hi,

You can download NETComm.ocx from my homepage.  It is free, with no
restrictions.  It provides all of MSComm32's features.

If you want VB.NET code, I have a native serial communications class and
example code in my book.  See below.

Does the native serial communications class in your book work on CE.NET?
Does it expose the same properties (capabilities) of MSComm?

Cheers
Daniel

PS    These are the properties (along with the OnComm event that we use)...
CommPort : Integer

Settings : String (baud rate, parity, data bit & stop bit params)

PortOpen : Boolean

Input : Variant

Output : Variant

RTSEnable : Boolean

DTREnable : Boolean

CDHolding : Boolean

CommEvent : Integer (OnCommConstants)

        .NullDiscard = False

        .OutBufferSize = 1000

        .ParityReplace = ""

        .InBufferSize = 30000

        .EOFEnable = False

        .Handshaking = comRTS

        .InputLen = 0

        .InputMode = comInputModeText

        .RThreshold = 1
