Problem in opening Cash Drawer in VB.NET

[V Senthil]

Hi Friends, I need the code to open cash drawer either it will be connected in COM or Serial Port. Below this code is working VB 6.0. Open "LPT1" For Output As #1 Print #1, Chr$(27); Chr$(112); Chr$(0) Close #1 I need the code in VB.NET. Any can change the code to .NET. Thank's in advance, Senthil V.

I believe there is a serial port class in .NET 2.0. But it's new there, so are you using 2.0 or not ?

No we are using .NET 1.0.

Which port is this drawer connected to? In your original post, you said you wanted the serial port, but yet the code you poasted says its on the Parallel port. There will be a HUGE difference in the two procedures used to send raw data to the drawer based on which port it's connected to.
