The code has been cleaded up, and I actually put in properties for Port and PortOpen. All the info is retrieved via functions, and events of been consolodated. The defult app, however, doesn't work so well (oops...), but that was second priority. Some prop pages are needed, but for the most part it's as good as any of Microsoft's.

Here's the new project group:
I was origionaly going to do it in binary mode, but I couldent find a doc about its input buffer, so I stuck to a string since I have always done that (it works ). Im not sure its nessesary to put each value into its own function, but it works. The ifi icon works, but I would rather do somthing less... copywrited (j/k ) Why did you mess with the LED bytes? They worked fine as they were and now it will have to be parsed on the other end. Im not sure why you say the ex app doesnt work, it still does for me, but I did find a small bug when you open the port, but it doesnt realy matter.
