Depending on what you are trying to do take a look at the functions

BuildCommDCB()
ClearCommError()
CreateFile()
EscapeCommFunction()
GetCommModemStatus()
GetCommState()
GetCommTimeouts()
GetOverlappedResult()
ReadFile()
SetCommMask()
SetCommTimeouts()
WaitCommEvent()
WriteFile()

Additionally, the MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com) provides a detailed article about serial communication in Windows. Open MSDN, choose Index and type "Serial Communications". There are several subitems, choose 'Win32'... (it's also available online (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnfiles/html/msdn_serial.asp)).

You could use JH.CommBase. Try looking at this article http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/freakshow.asp
