Hi all

any idea on where to start?

Many thanks

Hi Kryptonic,

Take a look at OpenNETCF.org - they are developing a library which compliments the MS .NETCF.

I used it to develop BTAutoSync SP - without it, I would have never been able to do any Bluetooth programming. OpenNETCF made it 'eezy peezy' to access the BT hardware on the phone.

Having said that, I'm not a programmer so you may find digging in MSDN easier than I did...

Hi.

Thanks for the replay, does that framework run on both Pocket PC and Smartphone?

Yup, works on both...

It will work on all devices which use the Microsoft Bluetooth stack, currently this means all Smartphones, some Pocket PCs (some like HP iPaqs use the Widcomm stack instead), and Windows XP machines running SP1 or later and using the built in Microsoft Bluetooth stack (although there are still some bugs to workaround on the desktop). I'll be posting some further updates over the Christmas break as I get time to work on the library.
