Hi everyone,

i'm a final year student doing this project on rfid recognizing system. i'm using a rfid reader with smartcards and vb.net as the software platform for this project.

1. i need a help on how to do coding in vb.net(i'm using 2005).
in my system, i'm using hyperterminal to open port for serialport communication and the data received from a smartcard thru its reader will appear in a serialport monitor. the card's data appears in d serialport monitor if the port is called in hyperterminal bt not in the vb. i want to know how to get hyperterminal wrks in vb wit a button. previously my port button..

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        If Button1.Text = "Port Select" Then
            cmdPortSelect.Enabled = False
            SerialPort1.PortName = cmdPortSelect.Text
            SerialPort1.Open()
            Button1.Text = "Close Port"
        Else
            If Button1.Text = "Close Port" Then
                cmdPortSelect.Enabled = True
                SerialPort1.Close()
                Button1.Text = "Port Select"
            End If
        End If
    End Sub

bt this is not wrking in serialport monitor. i want to know how this button1 to wrk as the hyperterminal call button.

2. i want to know how to make the data appear in the vb form, in its own textbox, and if possible to diplay as a messagebox if this data enetred in the system.
