  We investigate the transport properties of quantum dots placed in strong
magnetic field using a quantum-mechanical ' approach based on the 2D
tight-binding Hamiltonian with direct Coulomb interaction and the
Landauer-B\"{u}ttiker (LB) formalism. The electronic transmittance and the Hall
resistance show Coulomb oscillations and also prove multiple addition
processes. We identify this feature as the 'bunching' of electrons observed in
recent experiments and give an elementary explanation in terms of spectral
characteristics of the dot. The spatial distribution of the added electrons may
distinguish between edge and bulk states and it has specific features for
bunched electrons. The dependence of the charging energy on the number of
electrons is discussed for strong and vanishing magnetic field. The crossover
from the tunneling to quantum Hall regime is analyzed in terms of dot-lead
coupling.
