Hi.
I realised there was a serial port component in .NET 2.0, which is cool
I haven't touched it nor played with it but will do. But currently have a question.
Serial Ports are Comm Ports correct
Would I be able to use the IR comm port/serial port to send data using this component (without connecting to a device for example)

I have the same problem on my device, I get exactly the same exception with basically the same initialization. Did you ever solve this

Hi,
NETCF V2 provides a managed SerialPort implementation consistent with the Desktop framework. You can use the class to send and receive data from serial/com port usually named as COM1, COM2, etc. NETCF also provides a managed IrDA implementation for communication with devices having IrDA support. You may find more details about our IrDA PMEs here:

OK, here is a Q
simple did this:
new smartphone 5.0 project.
added the serialport component to the form
made a simple method:
this.theSerialPort = new System.IO.Ports.SerialPort("COM4");
this.theSerialPort.Open();
this.theSerialPort.Close();
an IOException is raised when opening the port giving the exception:
An error message cannot be displayed because an optional resource assembly containing it cannot be found
Does the Smartphone Windows Mobile 2005 device not support serialport
[edit]Of course I tried Com3 and seems to work until it sends data, when it sends a simple data like "hello" i get just an empty blank IOException. This is to my other smartphone or the PC IRDA usb, or even the media centre IR reciever. Any ideas
