RE: X10 VB.NET implementation

[<anthony.kirrane@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Kevin

Thanks for that.  I have had a quick look and it looks interesting. 
Ideally
I would like something a little more basic to begin with.  Just some
pointers
as to basic serial comms in .NET (I believe MSCOMM32 no longer exists)  I
have found a great source from a chap called Corrado Cavelli.  However I am
struggling to extend his RS232 generic class to send X10 commands.  It
again
is a little to complex for me at this stage.

I will find Edward's email address and see if he will point me in the
direction of the resources he used to write his plug-in.  Thanks again for
the URL.

Hi Anthony,

Actually the new xAP X10 connector is written in VB.Net and uses the
xAP .Net Framework too.    Drop a line to Edward (the author) and see if
there's any mileage here. It works well though so not in the 'half'
categories at all ;-).  I keep meaning to make that VB.Net learning step
myself too.  His site is at
http://www.edjo.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/edward/
(and the framework is at www.xapframework.net)
