about Parallel Port Programming???

[flashmemory]

i want a sample tutorial (or code) in vb.net that demonstrate on parallel port proghramming for doing simple program?????

That's rather vauge. What are you doing with the parallel port? RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

i want to connect a small motor (simple) to the parallel port and control it by using a vb.net program?? i want a sample program and howto connect it??:rose:

Well, since this is a very specific, and relatively rare, project, you're probably going to have to do your own research. The "perfect" example, with everything you want, probably doesn't exist in one place. I suggest Googling for "parallel port motor" for any information. You'll probably have to piece together your project from various sources. You can start with this[^] one, right here on Code Project.

ok i want a very simple code how to control parallel port so i can on/off the led only?? VB.NET:rose:

From a motor to an LED... There's nothing simple about it, no matter what you do. The parallel port hardware is completely abstracted from your code. You MUST have a Ring 0 .DLL to get to the hardware FOR your code. You can find an example at http://www.logix4u.net/[^]. Be be warned, you STILL have to do your own research to get any example to work. Trial and error is the best teacher.

For the hardware connection to the parallel ports and some sample code in C, see this website: http://www.phanderson.com About half way down the page are some books/workbooks he wrote about connecting hardware motors and such to the parallel port and programming them with the PC. The code won't apply, but he gives some great circuits and theory. I have both books and they are an excellent intro to controlling stuff with the parallel port.
