It looks 2 different components are using the same NameSpace.
'System.IO.Ports.SerialPort'  is a NameSpace in .Net 2.0

I believe Craig had written the X10Controller app in .Net 1.5 (I did
not see the code yet)
The SerialPort.dll is also using 'System.IO.Ports.SerialPort as its
namespace.

The SerialPort.dll should be recreated using a different namespace.
Or recode the application to use .Net 2.0 serial ports.
