My VS 2003 is missing System.IO.Port

Hi

I have VS 2003 enterprise edition on my PC. I also have VB.NET, C# Express installed.

I've installed the .NET CF 2.0. But still in my VS 2003 Smart application project (VB Console Application) it says System.IO.port is not there. I then looked at the object browser, mscorlib -> system -> IO  , Port or Serial are not there.

I am   not sure is the VS 2003 using .NET Framework 1.1 or it automically loads .NET CF 2.0 when I create a Smart mobile application project..... is there anyway to check in object browser that that mscorlib is from which .NET  framework version (.NET 1.1 or CF 2.0 ) ...

I want to do some work with the Serial port....that's why i am looking for this API..


Thanks

    No, Express is no good for device development, VS 2005 SE or above is needed.

    With NETCF V1 you can use OpenNetcf.org library or P/Invoke to access serial port.

    thanks for the reply,

    I do not have VS 2005. I only have the express edition of C# and VB.NET.
    In C#/VB.NET express, when you create a new project, there is no Smart Application in the selection. Is it possible to develop Smart application using the express

    If .NET CF V1 does not support Serial programming, does that mean the only option is the OpenNETCF port library

    Thanks for your time and help

    There's no System.IO.Port on NETCF V1 which is the only version VS 2003 uses. You need VS 2005 to develop for NETCF V2.
