Assistance Required with VB.net

[LEDave]

Hi,

I'm trying to send data from PIC - PC using the program mackrackit pointed to earlier in this thread.

http://www.rentron.com/receiving_data.htm

When I compile it I have this error message: Name 'comEvReceive' is not declared.

Does anyone have an idea of a fix (with as much of an explaination as you can spare please, I'm new to this). I've done lots of Googling with various answer from 'Select Case' to it can't be done in the 2008 VB-Version.

 Private Sub MSComm1_OnComm()
Dim sData As String ' Holds our incoming data
Dim lHighByte As Long   ' Holds HighByte value
Dim lLowByte As Long    ' Holds LowByte value
Dim lWord As Long       ' Holds the Word result

' If comEvReceive Event then get data and display
If MSComm1.CommEvent = comEvReceive Then

    sData = MSComm1.Input ' Get data (2 bytes)
    lHighByte = Asc(Mid$(sData, 1, 1)) ' get 1st byte
    lLowByte = Asc(Mid$(sData, 2, 1))  ' Get 2nd byte
    
    ' Combine bytes into a word
    lWord = (lHighByte * &H100) Or lLowByte
    
    ' Convert value to a string and display
    lblRCTime.Caption = CStr(lWord)
    
End If
End Sub

I guess I should add I'm using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition.

Any help much appreciated.
