Knowledge Base FAQ Item #3350025

Q3350025: Why am I getting the following error message when compiling your Visual Basic .NET sample: "Namespace or type specified in the Imports 'AxSerial' doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found. Make sure the namespace or the type is defined and contains at least one public member. "

You haven't installed and registered the ActiveXperts Serial Port Component ActiveX component properly. This component can be installed and registered automatically by running the ActiveXperts Serial Port Component installation, or by registring manually (see also FAQ Q3000015).
