Serial port (high low only)

[fernandomierhicks]

Hi:

I am trying to interface a microcontroller to the pc, the problem is that I am using the serial port controller on vs 2005 and I wish to make the port logic 1 for a certain amount of time, I am trying sending char(255) but it does not work because its sends start and stop bits, does anyone knows how could I make the port logic 1 or 0 without these stop and start bits?

Thanks
