With CF 2.0, it's inherently there in System.IO.Ports. For CF 1.0,
OpenNETCF has solutions in the SDF:

Thanks Chris, so in CF 1.0 if one wasn't using the OpenNETCF solution
was the only way to call to unmanaged code?

Yes and no. There are other wrappers out there too, but all of them do the
same thing by calling the P/Invokes. In fact CF 2.0 calls the P/Invokes
itself.
