VB.Net, Reading data off of a serial port

Reading data off of a serial port

Tom Lehmkuh #1 / 5	Reading data off of a serial port How do I open a COM port to read in a continuous data stream (from a phone system). I assume it should be done through System.IO, but not sure where to go from there. Thanks, Tom

Jay B. Harlo #3 / 5	Reading data off of a serial port Tom, In addition to Patrick's comment. .Net supports file streams, you can open a COM port as a stream, and read it that way. See the X10 Firecracker code example on MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/code/default.asp?url=/code/sample.asp?url=/... les/026/002/414/msdncompositedoc.xml Hope this helps Jay Quote: > How do I open a COM port to read in a continuous data > stream (from a phone system).

Ed Hick #4 / 5	Reading data off of a serial port Hello Tom, I think the easiest way in .Net to do this is to either use the VB6 MSComm control, or you can go to http://www.--.com/ and use the control that{filter*} Grier has made for this.
