Alternatively drop a SerialPort component on your form and set its properties either through code or through the PropertyGrid.

is this is correct?

My.Computer.Ports.Serial.CommPort = 4
My.Computer.Ports.Serial.PortOpen = True
My.Computer.Ports.Serial.Settings = "9600,N,8,1"
My.Computer.Ports.Serial.InBufferCount = 0

Thanks

I've never used any form of port control with VS. The last time I directly programmed serial or parallel ports was in assembler under DOS.

I've just given you a couple of alternative things for you to experiment with.

You can also look at [tt]System.IO[/tt] where all the port control methods reside. ([tt]My.Computer[/tt]) just uses a small subset of them.
