why on my visual studio 2022 toolbox there is no Serialport option available, is this a system error? Please help

Hi @Abdul Rahman , In the .Net Core project, there is no SerialPort in the toolbox of the design view, but you can manually import the package "System.IO.Ports". Then you can use SerialPort Class (still not showing in the toolbox though). Best Regards. Jiachen Li ---------- If the answer is helpful, please click " Accept Answer " and upvote it.

Open first your main Form in Design Mode (and in a .NET Framework project (not Net Core)) => (test in C#, but same thing in VB)

Hi @Abdul Rahman ,
Project->Manage Nuget Packages->Browse and search "ports".
And install the following package.

Then import it in your project.
Imports System.IO.Ports
