Don't do that. Do myserialobj.SerialPort = System.Serial(i) instead.
Or better yet, when loading your popup menu, store the ports in the row
tag:
for i As Integer = 0 to System.SerialPortCount - 1
me.AddRow System.SerialPort(i).Name
me.RowTag( i ) = System.SerialPort(i)
next
And then, simply use that in the Change event:
Ser.SerialPort = me.RowTag( me.ListIndex )
OpenPort

I'm pretty sure that property has been deprecated for a while, which is
probably why it's not documented. Work with objects instead of
integers, and you should be fine.
