Is there a c# solution for this ?
It may work like the MSCOMM control.
Applications that use the MSCOMM ocx should distribute this component too,
so i want to avoid this.
How can serial port access with overlapped io be done in c# ?
Or should i fall back to the win32 api (createfile) with overlapped io ,and
create a wrapper in managed code ?

Any suggestions ?

Hi Sagaert,

I've just started a book ".NET Framework Solutions - In Search of the
Lost Win32 Api" which has a whole section about Serial Port access - because
it's missing from .NET.

Good luck,
Fergus
