VB.Net Bluetooth from Mobile device

[David]

Hi,

Would someone mind pointing me to a site or document that might help me
understand how to detect a bluetooth device and talk to it
using VB.NET compiled for Windows Mobile ? I have VB.Net 2005 and my PDA
runs Windows Mobile 6.

I have downloaded the Windows Mobile SDK but have not run it yet.

What I want to do is set up a small network of beacons that my PDA can pick
up and log to file (time/stamped) each time I come within
range of a device. The application does not have to send data if the device
has a unique ID it can obtain simply by coming into range of it.

If this is possible then I should be able to use low cost Bluetooth RS2332
devices as beacons and just power them up ??

Thanks in advance for any help with this

Regards

David
