Before this, i used to write the code with MSComm to communicate with the serial port which 2 computer are connected. I can just use the below line to get the correct data send from one pc to another pc.

strReceive = MSComm1.Input

But when i communicate with microcontroller, do i need to convert the data from microcontroller to bytes or other conversion in order to get the value i need?

i'm sending the temp from the microcontroller... but when i do this

strReceive = MSComm1.Input
text1.text = strReceive

i get weird character... which maybe in the from of ascii

What should i do?
