I am currently working on a Pocket PC application in C#. I would like
to allow the users to beam information from one instance of our
program to another instance running on a seperate Pocket PC.
Furthermore I would like to let the user select which wireless method
to use for the beaming, bluetooth or infrared.

The problem is I can't find any in depth information on how to beam
files using bluetooth. I know I could use the IrDAClient class for
infrared communication, but I would rather have one solution that
could use both beaming methods. I have heard about OBEX, and was
wondering if anyone could point me to a good reference on using OBEX?
Or a reference on how to do this using another technique?

Thanks
Trevor

The Pocket PC 2003 SDK has information about OBEX. In your case, just search
for bluetooth. The second result should be a link to OBEX samples. Also
there is an Object Exchange Protocol section the SDK with specific
information about the OBEX interface.

I've been searching in the help and can't seem to find any samples.
Are these samples in C++ or C#? Are there any online resources I can
use instead?

Thanks

In his latest Programming Book, Programming Microsoft Windows CE .NET,
Douglas Boiling has a very extensive chapter on Obex, Bluetooth and a very
good sample beaming application.

Obex is a good idea, it gives you IR and Bluetooth (on devices supporting
the WinCE Bluetooth stack), lets you create your own providers,...

Good luck

Is there a way to add the OBEX functionality using C#?
