Visual C++ for Control Hardware
-
I want to use Visual C++ for control hardware via RS232 or USB port. Anyone know what is the good book or website which I can get the infomation about this issue.

Google, AFAIK there are not many dedicated sites. The MSDN Library has a good article on reading and writing data to and from the COM ports (sorry can't remember the title). Most USB drivers come with something that will allow the USB port to look like an RS232 port with a higher baud rate. So generally all you need to know is how to read and write data to and from RS232 ports. Regarding actually controlling the hardware you'll have to provide more information.
Formula 1 - Short for "F1 Racing" - named after the standard "help" key in Windows, it's a sport where participants desperately search through software help files trying to find actual documentation. It's tedious and somewhat cruel, most matches ending in a draw as no participant is able to find anything helpful. - Shog9 Ed
