Bluetooth and Serivce discovery

[Marco Minerva]

Hi all!

I'm using Visual Studio 2005. I have a Bluetooth device that uses
Widcomm bluetooth stack, so I can't use the 32feet.net library.
However, this device emulates two serial ports, COM8 and COM9, so I can
use the System.IO.SerialPorts.SerialPort object in order to comunicate
with the device. My problem is: how can I perform a service discovery
for other bluetooth devices? I would like to obtain the same result of
calling of the BluetoothClient.DiscoveryDevices method of 32feet.net
library.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Discover devices method is based on sofisticated sockets call functions,
that implements MS Bluetooth Stack. Besides, it's not possible to discover
services using these functions like devices in windows mobile but yes on
WinXP.

The BROADCOM (WIDCOMM) SDK provides a method for service discovery.

Hi,

1.- You can buy the Widcomm original API (really expensive).

2.- See an intermediate solution like the offered by High Point

3.- Franson BlueTools.
