Serial port to USB in VB.NET

[DennisCNC]

I have a simple application that I use with a microcontroller through the serial port the mico sends numbers to the VB app. All works good but now newer computers don't have serial ports so I was thinking about moving to USB. Any one convert a project to USB from serial, what converter IC should I use? Or what about a off the self serial to USB converter, how do I access it in .NET?

Thanks
