Serial port programming in Visual Studio >Visual Basic> Windows form application

Please any one can give me tutorial on serial port programming to write a Microsoft Visual Studio > Visual Basic > Windows Form application to communicate with Microcontroller. I have googled it but confused with visual c#, visual c++ and visual basic 6 &
What is the difference between visual studio >visual basic and visual basic 6.

Sometimes the software package will include a sample program of what you want to do.

You may need to poke through folders labelled 'samples', 'examples', 'help', etc.

And deeper among folders such as 'communication', 'comm', 'serial', etc.

With the BASIC's I'm acquainted with, you open serial communications by using a command similar to "OPEN COMM" followed by a few parameters. After that you read or write to the serial port similar to the way you do a disk file.

use the Serial class communicate through serial port with the device

Serial.getPortNames() -- gets you the port available on windows

Serial.baudrate() to set baud rate,and partiy,timeout and other stuff,set it up

and use Serial.write() to write date to serial port

after writing character,then close it using Serial.close()

For Visual Basic 6 tutorial with serial port for 8051 and PIC, you can visit this page. You can get simulation files, simulation video and more there.

if you are using Visual Studio C++, C# or VB there is a SerialPort component in the toolbox which will conect to a COM port and used the transmit and receive data, e.g.

If you are good at C and if you are looking for quick development then go for C#.NET

Visual C#, Visual C++ and Visual Basic are various kinds of languages.

For VB6 you can use comm controll. You can download example here:

This is example how to talk with serial eeprom.
