Try to get just visualC++.NET as it is a fair bit cheaper than the whole visual studio package (which includes interdev, j++, foxpro, visual basic etc etc...) As for the programming side of it, I'd recommend using the MSCOMM32.ocx activex control that's included with visual studio. It basically handles all the low level comms for you, and can be event or poll driven. Very easy to use. -----Original Message----- From: pic microcontroller discussion list [mailto:PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU] On Behalf Of John Pearson Sent: Tuesday, 27 April 2004 9:40 AM To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: [OT:] Visual Studio .Net 2003 Can anyone tell me more about this software. I know a little C. Not a pro but can manage to make a few things happen. I will want to make a simple terminal emulator for pocket pc, that will do a few extra tricks. Will VS.Net be a big help to me or am I getting over my head? Thanks John -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
