You really should read the posting guidelines first. Create a changed event for the combobox and open the selected comport. What is the problem?

Just because you left your homework to the last minute does not mean that someone else should drop everything to do it for you. You seriously need someone else to write the code to open a serial port for you? If you had just looked up the serial port class in MSDN, you would probably have been done with it 10 minutes ago.

Go to www.msdn.microsoft.com and then search for serialport. Or when you are in Visual Studio press the F1 key. Or, you can google "serialport vb.net". Or use the CodeProject search which probably has several articles on serial ports.

All you need is the class System.IO.Ports.SerialPort: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.ports.serialport.aspx[^].

Take a look at the :bob: articles:

This one for instance explains how to use the com port: COM port made simple with VB.NET[^]

You can also use any other article here related to vb.net and serial ports:
http://www.codeproject.com/search.aspx?q=Serial+Port+Communication+in+VB.NET[^]

Good luck!
