Using Serial Port with Visual Studio 2010 Application - visual-studio-2010

I'm developing an application with Visual Studio 2010. I would like to send inputs and read through the serial port. I'm not sure how to go about this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

You can open serial ports with CreateFile:

Though, if you're totally new to this, you should probably start here:

Can't change the port in Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition

MSDN says there should be an option in the Properties pane to change the port. There isn't.
How can you change the port of your local web server in Visual Studio 2015 community edition?
EDIT: I believe part of the problem may be that I'm doing a web site projet, not a web application project and those are different for how they allow you to access ports.
The bottom line is, I can't start up the server because something is using the same port.
The option doesn't exist in the enterprise edition either. It seems to be stored in
[My Documents]\Visual Studio 2015\Projects[Your Web Site Name].vs\config\applicationhost.config
You should search for the current port number and replace it.
Bases on #levininja's comment, I managed to solve the error by following the below instructions:
Open visual studio solution file *.sln in your project folder and look for:
VWDPort = "54638"
The default port number may be different than mine. In my case it is 54638.
Change the port to the port number you want.

Visual sourcesafe connection between virtual and build machine

I have a problem and there are no lots of documents about that.
I will use visual studio as ide.
I want to use visual source safe for sharing and logging our projects from a server.
I installed source safe.But i have some help about how to connect this machine to our programmers machine.
I need detailed help about this because this is an unusual subject for me.
If there is someone to help we can do it by remote too.
Thank you for helping.
Do you want to retrieve the files which your programmers stored in SourceSafe database? If so, you can use Open from Source Control command under File menu. More details
You can also refer to the using VS with SourceSafe tutorial here.

Visual Basic - How do I share my program?

I am currently in the process of developing a program in Visual Basic. For now, I want to give the program to a few friends to test, make changes and then release it. But I don't exactly know how. I used the Publish feature in Visual Basic, but I don't exactly know what I'm supposed to do with it. It mentions things like installing from a disk and whatnot. I just plan to upload it to a file sharing website and release it that way.
EDIT: Using Visual Studio 2012
Use dropbox or any file sharing site :D

Synchronise Visual Studio Instances

Is there any tool or plugin that can synchronise visual studio so that when I use it at home the same windows are open in the same configuration as when I left work?
Have you tried Pepper?
Will sync (most of) your settings to the/ a cloud somewhere.
Visual Studio Live Share may be able to be used to get this behaviour.

Help Viewer in Visual Studio 2010

When I installed Visual Studio 2010, i figured out that it was not having a traditional windows based Help Viewer. The help topics were loaded in the Internet explorer.
I understand that online and offline help will be consistant if we use IE. Other than this, is there any reason for having the local help in the IE?
Is it possible to have a traditional Help Viewer? If possible How?
By default VS2010 comes with just Help Library Agent that is capable of showing the help documentation in the default browser.
Help Viewer power tool has to be installed separately to have a stand alone documentation program.
