SerialPort


The SerialPort component represents one of the computer’s physical serial ports. It provides properties and methods for reading and configuring the port’s baud rate, break signal, Data Set Ready (DSR) state, port name, parity, and stop bits. The class has methods to write data to the port and to read synchronously or asynchronously.

Serial communications is a fairly advanced and specialized topic that depends on your particular application, so it is not covered in detail here. See the online help (msdn2.microsoft.com/library/system .io.ports.serialport.aspx) for more information. If you plan to work extensively with serial communication, you might want to find a good book on the topic such as Visual Basic Programmer’s Guide to Serial Communications, 4th Edition by Richard Grier (Mabry Software, 2004).
