Simple VB.NET 2005 application to demonstrate the use of the new serial port component. I used two USB to Serial adapters and a null modem adapter to test the code on both a Windows XP and Windows 2000 PC.

Hi Wade,

Thanks for posting your elegant serial port program. My question is how can de “ReadExisting” method be used to get binary data in a string representing hex values (Example: 0AB30F5E..etc) Right now i use a polling method getting the bytes and use the ToString(“X2″) property to convert it. I would really apriciate any help.
