Problem in receving data from MS Comm Port

[Nittu]

hello,
I interface a microcontroller with PC using VB6. as i transfer string from the microcontrller it is desplayed on the VB form. but when i send a float byte array from the microcontller it is showing mismatch error. i am sending a four bytes of float value from the microcontroller to com port. now i am not able to convert that 4 bytes of float value to single or double data in vb.

Public Function GetByt(Byt As Integer) As Single
Dim CropL As Single
'Dim i As Integer
Dim crop() As Byte
Dim buf As Byte
Dim Str As String
MSComm1.OutBufferCount = 0
MSComm1.InBufferCount = 0
MSComm1.Output = "S"
Do While MSComm1.InBufferCount < Byt
DoEvents
MSComm1.Output = "R" ' ack to controller that byte is received, send next
Loop
crop() = MSComm1.Input
CropL = crop()
GetByt = CSng(CropL)
MSComm1.Output = "D" 'ACk to controller that all bytes are received,
End Function

please suggest what to do..

Best Regards.

I suggest you post your question in the VB forum, not the Java forum.
