• Visual Basic How to get Stings of 8 bit Chars from Comm Port

  I am using an MSDN RS232 sample VB code in VSTS2005 to read and write from/to the Com1 port.

• Visual Studio Team System Whidbey FxCop 1.32 ignores certain methods ?

  Does the Whidbey FxCop 1.32 have built in intelligence for ignoring certain methods I ask because I have various rules which check ASP.NET generated assemblies. They run fine using the .NET Framework 1.1 FxCop 1.32 but when I run them on ASP.NET 2 assemblies using the Whidbey FxCop 1.32 none of the private generated methods are visited.
