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.

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
