Book Reviews of Visual Basic Programmer's Guide to Serial Communications

Book Review: Hard to follow
Summary: 2 Stars

I purchased this book in order to add serial IO to my .NET programs. I have been very sussessfull using VB6 in the past but could not get a single code example from the CD ROM to work with Visual studio 2003.

The Compact framework .Net examples did work however.

On top of all the problems the text is very hard to match up with the CDRom and does not follow. For instance it is stated that the .Net routines do not implement oncomm events yet it is programed in the code on the CDrom.
