in VB you have COM Control, that enables you the read/write from com ports (with selection of com port, baud rate, protocol aso)<br />
Check &quot;Microsoft Comm Control&quot; in Project Components.<br />
<br />
Good luck

Is there any template or function in VB, VC++ which may assist me in doing so?<br />
Please show me the way...........<br />

VB or VC++ to read COM port

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
