Bluetooth, Widcomm and Microsoft stack

[toni_gomez[at]abrevia[dot]net]

Hi,
I would apreciate if somebody could put some piece of light on this
I am playing with bluetooth stuff and found a serious problem, the iPaq
(2210) comes with Widcomm bt stack and there is no docs, nowhere, except
their ~1500$ SDK.
I found also a third party library working over this (but costs almost
same $).
I would like to have a way to list bt devices near the pda and pairing
them, ...
My big questions are:
- Any PInvoke collection to do this? (I know that OpenNETCF is making it
hard and evolving a Bluetooth namespace, but only for Microsoft stack )
- Is there a way to have Microsoft BT stack on any device?, for example,
in iPaqs that already have Widcomm stuff (not really sure if should call
it shit).

Thanks,

I would like to add one more cuestion:
- MS offers both winsock extensions and OBEX capability to windows ce
..net. Do they also depend on their bluetooth stack?
That is, would i have some kind of success trying to work with winsock
or obex with a Widcomm bt stack?

I have the same problem here on a h2210 also. But all i want to do is start up an existing LAN connection.
If you Directory.GetFiles using the wildcard *.dll, all the microsoft bluetooth stack dll's exist in the windows directory.
Next problem is implementing them.
I have had various attempts to load them into memory using different methods (adding the driver dll to registry, loading them using 'btloader.exe' example on MSDN) but have had no success.

Also (using the Widcomm stack) i downloaded a BTConnect.exe from www.high-point.com but when i attempt to pair an existing connection it returned service not available. Pairing using the manager worked ok though ?

Just to inform you that you are not the only one pulling your hair out.

Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition has much better Bluetooth Support then
Windows Mobile 2003, FYI.
