I have a digital weighing scale I need to connect to the PC using RS232 communication port. Every time I weigh an object, automatically the result/weight will display in the the textbox control in Visual Basic Application that I made. I need your help for the complete source code that will communicate to the weighing device and what control should I use to communicate and how?

No-one is going to give you the full source code (why would we do the work you are paid for?): google for the SerialPort control and take it from there.

Nobody is going to rollover and just give you all the code.

Have you done any searching or research into this yourself? didn't think so.

Start with the basics like this article;
