Hello, I'm new at here, and at most I want to sorry for my English 
I want to develop an application that send and recive something from serial port, and I want to make this work as a web apllication.
I know that I can access serial port by making ActiveX-control to do this, but don't you thing that ActiveX technology is a litte bit old ?
Can I develop a Web-based application (lets say ASP .NET or something .NET-based) that could access to serial port like ActiveX but not being ActiveX it self ?
