I’m tring to convert a VB6 program to VB.NET. This a Caller ID program.

In VB6 its using MSComm. So when an calls comes, it will check the user, phone number, number of rings, incomming calls, outgoing calls, no answered calls, time off Hook, time on Hook etc… and incoming call, Outgoing calls, no answered call details will be saved in different database.

I couldn’t find MSComm in VB.NET. Instead of MSComm what I can use in VB.NET for checking Caller ID details. I’m not getting any idea, I searched lots. But not getting any idea.
So if you have any idea please let me know. that will be a great help for me.

Thanks in advance.

I am certain that you can use the comm object. You just need to call the object and its member functions in a different manner. Now is this a web app or a windows based app, either way I do not think there is a difference in the way you call that object.
