Hey everyone.
I need to be able to write information, just simple lines of text, to the COM port on a Dell machine and then receive back a response from that same COM port. I need to do this from VB 2008 express edition.
What I'd be communicating with is a piece of machinery hooked up to the COM port that engraves metal parts.
I just need a start. Like what namespaces I should be using, or is it not even possible. Or a better suggestion then VB?
Thanks for the help,

the info from this url explains the process of initializing the com port. it isn't using VB, but it might give you some ideas.
