Serial Port Properties

Question

Hello All,

I drug a serial port control onto my form and in the properties window set the baud rate to 57600.  It didn't work.  According to PORTMON the port speed was 9600.  after I wrote sp1.BaudRate = 57600; in my program it works now.  Why when I set the serial port property in the property window to 57600 it did not run at that speed until I set it in the program before I opened the port?

Thank you in advance for your help.
