title: Recommendation for 3rd Party .NET Serial Port Class/Component
body: <p>I am looking for a serial port component for .NET that overcomes the issues with the built-in Serial Port component related to sudden unplugging of USB-to-RS232 adapters, and suspension of the computer while the port is open.  (Untrappable errors occurring after the the device is unplugged or the computer comes back after being suspended.)</p>
  
  <p>I have been using <a href="http://home.comcast.net/~hardandsoftware/enhanced_serial_port_object_for.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Richard Grier's solution</a>, but I still have problems when resuming from suspend.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a 3rd party component that you would recommend?  I have tried several, and each have their shortcomings.  Ideally I'd like a drop-in replacement for the standard serial port, but I'll take whatever I can get.</p>
  
  <p>(Note:  I apologize if you find this post a bit vague.  This question is targeted to those familiar with my problem... it is a very common issue.)</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for your time.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> It turns out that upgrading to .NET 4 and using the serial class works fine on XP, but does <em>not</em> work on Windows 7.</p>
