Has anyone created a program (preferably in C) to control Denon receivers throught the RS-232 port that I could take a look at?

What type of machine are you talking about (i.e. Windows, Mac or Linux based PC or, as CJW assumed, a Crestron device)?

I looked at Crestron and they seem to be limited on feedback for some types of equipment not to mention their prices. I'm basically looking for something in PC format using C,C++, or VB.

To start off with, the RS-232 is a very old standard that most engineers and software developers would like to see go away. First - it is slow, second - it is point to point only (can physically connect to one device at a time) and third - it has limited distance.
Windows API supports com port access by a function called CreateFile. Microsoft Visual Basic uses MSComm. I’m not sure what Mac uses to access its com ports.
This is not an easy thing to do. You might consider using a ActiveX component or simply using a terminal application such as Hyper Terminal.
Good Luck!

I have the RS-232 coding from Denon. I'm figured I'd save my self some time and see if anyone has done a similar thing.
