Right, but since there is NO bluetooth controls in .NET you are going to have to mimic it. Knowing how windows talks to your bluetooth device would be usefull.
Does it make the device show up as a disk drive? Does it show up as a SerialPort? As a mouse? As a keyboard? As a HID?

It shows up as a serial port.

So then if you are stuck using .NET1.1 (SerialPort class was new in .NET2.0) You will need to use DLLImport on the native Serialport control dll (Don't know the name, look it up, should be able to find it)
And then you can use those methods to do Serial Port work.

but you have to give the port no as well as address of bluetooth to which you want to connect.then how to do this?

What?
If it shows up as a SerialPort, you would talk RS232 to it (That DLL is the mscomm.dll for serial port usage prior to .NET2.0)
If you don't know the commands to send over RS232 I suggest you start reading up on bluetooth and the commands used by your device, as they are not .NET related.

I'm attempting to use Visual C# 2003 to build a bluetooth enabled program to allow laptops to "talk" to one another. Normally, this wouldn't be an issue, because I'm fairly familiar with WinSockets, but I cannot figure out how to make the program use my Bluetooth device. I'm assuming I need to use a "using xxx.xxx.xxx" line, or install some SDK. I've found a bunch of .h files for C++ that will allow bluetooth communication, but I can't...

I would like to develop a smart device bluetooth application for pocket PC 2003. As I know, Pocket PC 2003 includes the microsoft bluetooth stack.

But, as I know most pocket PCs with integrated bluetooth chips use the WIDCOMM bluetooth stack. So my questions are as follows: 1) Is it possible to...

Hi everyone, I'm have two iPac Devices and I'm trying send some bytes from one to another via Bluetooth communication. I use the CreateFile command to send the data and the ReadFile command to read the data. In booth commands I use the appropriate COM port. When I try to send the bytes, it appears to work (the return is 1). When I try to read the bytes, it also appears to work (the return is 1).

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
