Hello all, I have included a reference to System.IO and a using statement for System.IO.Ports, but the SerialPort class doesn't show up. What am I missing? I'm sure it's probably something simple that I'm overlooking. Thanks!

Oh yes, and I tried other references like Microsoft.SPOT.IO. Oh SerialPort, come out, come out wherever you are!

As "stacyh3" said, you have to add a reference in your project to Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware.SerialPort

You need to add Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware.SerialPort.dll as a reference to your project.

You can add "System.IO.Ports" as a using statement. System.IO.Ports.SerialPort is the class you want to use.

Thanks! Was stuck on this one for a while. Although, couldn't leave "using Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware.SerialPort" in my code, the assembly reference was enough. I'm not sure why this was the case (is it because Microsoft.SPOT.Hardward.SerialPort exposes SerialPort through the "using System.IO.Ports"?)
