Does anyone know of a good place that has a tutorial or complete "working" programs that use C++ Serial I/O Comm routines? I have found some stuff, but all have many errors which doesn't help me since I dont know much of it to begin with. I am using MSoft's Visual Studio.NET just to let you know in case some code isnt directly compatible with it.

Thanks :)

P.S. I found a C++ Serial Comm Library from "WSC" but all it had was a .lib file (obviously a library) and a header file. Now I never worked with libraries before in c++ so I didnt know how to use it. What I did was include both in my original source file and it came with so many errors I didnt even try to fix them because as I said I dont know enough about how to use serial comm in c++.

P.P.S. I do know How serial comm works in general just not how to incorporate it into a c++ program.

A great book on serial interfacing with windows that includes C++ source and fully functional examples of professional quality code is Serial Communications Developers's Guide by Mark Nelson. It is published by M&T books. I have used the code from this book "as is" in commerical software.
