Any .NET objects or controls out there for RS232 control?

I'm looking to see if there is any .NET objects or controls out there that cover the communications between RoboteQ and a computer. I've written what I needed already in VB.Net but I do ignore some input from the controller and I'm sure I haven't covered all the error conditions, since I haven't come across any :). Just wondering if anyone has some public code out there that covers all input and output. Thank you.

Use file MSCOMM32.OCX, which is a Microsot RS232 ActiveX control File must be installed in:
c:winntsystem32mscomm32.ocx
In Visual Basic.NET go to
tools > customize toolbox and click "COM components"
Search for Microsoft Communication Control 6.0 (use BROWSE if you do not see it, and use path above) and click the box
under the column Name to make it appear on tollbox under Components. It will appear as in toolbox as MScomm.
Help is available in Microsoft Knowledge Base at:
<A href="msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?u...8/dt_vbobjComm_P.asp" target=_blank>msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?u...8/dt_vbobjComm_P.asp
This OCX is easy to use and I have various code I can share with you using it. It is in VB6.0 but the porting to Visual Basic.NET is obvious,

Thank you very much, Robotony. I've been using some publicly available COM port code for use in VB.NET (using the API) because of difficulties I had at one point (for another project) debugging programs in VB.NET that use .OCX controls. I went unwillingly to VB.NET mainly because of the power of true classes it offers, but my real roots lay in VB3-6. I may take you up on that offer of app code if I have any difficulty with the .NET objects I created, no trouble at the moment though, but I know I'm probably not handling all the possible error conditions that may arise.
Thanks again for your quick response!
