Serial Communication

[carmen]

I'm working in an aplication for a Smart Device that need to "talk" with a
printer continuosly through the serial port. I'm trying to use the John
Hint's sample code "Use P/Invoke to develop a .NET Base Class Library for
Serial Device Communication" but I'm new with VC# and need some basic rules
because I have a lot of compilation errors.
Where should I create my inherited class?
Thank you

implementation):

Thank you for the link !!
The errors are due to a bad impletentation of the inheritance of the Base
Class because I'm new with this lenguage.
I think that I need to work with easy projects and later try the serial
communication.
Thanks again

Hi!

Well, with the serial communication class the link talks about, you wont
need to inherit from it.. unless you want your own enhanced class.

So, this should serve the purpose.
