connect pic to vb

[kalman]

Hi. I need to connect my pic to visual basic, VB.

I need them to send a value from my sensor through serial and display in VB application.
I'm using pic16f877a and PCWHD 4.084.
vb 6.0.

I need to know the connection and program both for PIC and VB.
I don't have experience to do this.
If anyone can give a reference please do.

A complete PIC application can be found here. You can search for VB code to talk to a serial port.
