VS 2010 Problem with receiving correct data from serial port

Hi guys,

I started out a new project to install new switches from different types (HP Procurve).

All the communcation goes with the serial port. So i add a serial port to my vb project.

Make a simple connection with the correct baud rate, parity, ...

Write a few lines of code to receive the data but ...

It connects correct but what i get back is horrible ... Sequence escapes from the probarly VT100 ...

But i can't figure out how to avoid those sequences?


Anyone?

Greetings
