I am trying to getinput from a serial port into a VB.net
application. I have tried using directX Manager function
GetDevices and can find the mouse and keyboard but nothing
else. Is this the best way to do this? if so how a code
snippet would be appreciated, if not what is the best
approach.

Have you got the VB.NET resource kit? If not, get it. It has a set of
controls from SAX Software to kick off this sort of thing.
