Bluetooth OBEX File Transfer

[henrycortezwu]

Hi All,
I'd like to transfer files from a Desktop computer to my
Cellphone/PDA using VB.NET

I've research a bit on this, and I found that I would need to do it
using OBEX via Serial Bluetooth COM Port.

I've read that using OpenNetCF Serial component will make things
easier coding things up because as of the moment there is no Serial
Component on the .NET Framework.

What puzzles me is that I cant find a sample VB.NET applicaton for
Desktop that uses Bluetooth to transfer files to a mobile device. What
I mean is that all samples and documentation regarding bluetooth leads
on me developing a "mobile" application.

Which for my need is actually the other way around, I'd like to
create a "Desktop" application to transfer files to the mobile device.

Is it correct that I can use OpenNetCF library to a standard VB.NET
Windows Application?

Or I'm getting mixed up? Anyone please enlighten me on how to program
a "Desktop" application that transfer files to a mobile device with
VB.NET (VS2003)

Thanks,
Henry Wu
