Receiving string from Basic Stamp II using Visual Basic.NET

I am looking for some help programming my Basic Stamp II to
syncronize the transfer of data with my Visual Basic.NET (Standard)
program.
I have looked at the tutorial available through the "Files" link
that teaches how to read and write to my basic stamp but it uses the
older VB software. It is quite different in .NET.
Does anyone know how I program VB.NET to accomplish the same result.
Any help is appreciated.

    Use this ActiveX control: http://www.al-williams.com/npdaqax.htm

    You can install it into your program then you can just output things like
    X1=125 to the serial port.

    This is made to work with our NetPorter DAQ, but the ActiveX control is
    freely downloadable and as long as your output is in the right format, it
    works great.

    There is an excellent example of using visual basic .net serial port
    communications @ the Microsoft site. Search
    for "UsingtheCOMPortinVB.exe". Down load this, run it, and this
    unzips the source code in a selected directory of your choose. If
    you have any question, please let me know. I use straight VB .net to
    communicate all the time to bs2, bs2p, bs2sx...
