serial commucation with C++?

I've been looking around the net for some way to receive/transmit data with serial port using c++, so far i've found code for old way of using serial (without VS) or using VS2008 but with C#. anyone know any good sites for implementing  serial communication using VS 2008?

There may be some c++ librariers out there but you could resort to the Win32 API to do it:

Here's an article on it. It's rather old but I bet it still applies:

What i find weird is that i cannot find C++ example for serialport, only C# and visual basic, anyone know why that is?

Because most people that wrote any C++ code to access the serial port did so years ago in a commercial app where they can't release code and probably used the C-based Win32 API anyways?

Hope this can help :
