    Hi Steven

    Windows CE 4.2 support was added with .NET CF 2.0 SP1.
    No, you cannot use VB.NET 2003 - you'll have to use VB.NET 2005.

    Find some more infos on serial port with .NET 1.0 here: Serial Communication with the .NET Compact Framework

    NETCF V1 (there’s no NETCF 1.1) has no serial port support. You could use OpenNetcf.org implementation or upgrade to NETCF 2.0.
