visual basic program for parallel port interface

[group_x3m]

I need ur help guys. I have an electronic project that needs an output from the parallel port. I already have a software for controlling the parallel port output but what i need is an exact source code using visual basic. i am just a beginner in visual basic. can anybody give me the exact source code or program that i could use to control the output of the parallel port? i just need a basic source code where i could start with. i hope you could help me in this one.. thanx!!

If you check my PIC programmer software, there's a driver you download which allows port access under 32 bit Windows (NT etc.). The driver includes example software for Visual BASIC and C.

u could get the source if u browse codeproject/codeguru sites

thnx for ur help guys!!! i really appreciate it! just in case u have other sites that u could suggest or maybe u have the exact VB code that u could paste here, it would help me a lot. i just need a simple code that would send a binary 1 and 0 signal to the parallel port. thank you so much!!

Simplest code would be to OUTPUT a byte of data to port address 0x378
The data appears on the parallel port pins 2 though 9, these correspond to D0 - D7.

You may need additional libraries to be able to do this under WinXP/2K/NT
see.. https://www.aaroncake.net/electronics/vblpt.htm

Note that the parallel port can only source about 6mA of current so you should buffer the signals.. but you might be able to drive a transistor directly for simple applications.

You're more likely to get help if you post in English.

hi,
Download this free unzip program,

Why would you want to open the frm or frx files.???

Use your Visual basic program to run the *.vbp file.

There are 3 *.exe files in that zip you could run.

thanx for helping me.....

Your welcome.
Let me know if you have a problem with those programs...
Use a text editor to view the *.frm files, if you need to.
