serial port support in Whidbey
We keep getting lots of requests for serial port support in the .NET Framework. We are planning to have it in the next release of the .NET Framework. You can goto https://www.gotdotnet.com/team/clr/bcl/demos/demos.aspx, and check out the code in either the 'serial support demo', or the 'space invaders!' demo. These showcase the serial support we've introduced for the next release
Have fun!

In regards to the crooked ways serial communication is implemented under .NET right now, Brad Abrams says Whidbey will have support for serial ports.... - Anonymous

For those of you who can't wait for Whidbey support I wrote a class that wraps Rs232 communication that has thousands of users around the globe... :-)

This is a great example of how the bar of functionality is constantly raised, resulting in increased developer productivity. When the .NET Framework 1.0 was launched we released a .NET library that contained basic serial communications (very similar to what will be in Whidbey). Now we've adding file transfers and we're working on TAPI support and additional debugging features. ISVs, like Microsoft, have to constantly keep moving and more value for developers. - Anonymous

This is good to hear. I've had to use serial ports with .NET before using the Sax.net SerialCommunication class in the VB resource kit... its nice to hear that it will be built in now. - Anonymous
