Working embedded Bluetooth API

[Suren Ariyaratnam]

Hi i'm new to dev. Mobile device and Bluetooth
In my application i need to enable BT programmtically. For that i have seen
on channel9 there is a Free BT API wich provides all nessecary function...
all other things.

My question is how to implement API fpor Bluetooth.
Of course there are some small example, like is mentiones you have to
reference the microsoft.windowsmobile.shared.bluetooth.dll which is located
under Program files\embedded Source Tools for Bluetooth.

But i saw also a lot of pots, complayning that isnot working for them, i
tried by my self, the point is do i have to reference the dll in code like
imports microsoft or must i just add it to the other reference?

Thanks in advance
would be great if somebody had expirenced already with this Problem.

Best regards

This is definitely the wrong group for your question.

What do you mean by "implement API"? You are the device vendor and you need
to build the operating system for your device so that it implements the
Bluetooth support? Or you want to *call* the Bluetooth API?

If you are the device vendor and are trying to get Bluetooth working at the
hardware/operating system level, your post belongs in
microsoft.public.windowsce.platbuilder. If you can't get your managed code,
VB.NET or C#, application to work, you should post to
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework.

In either case, you need to be MUCH more clear on what you are doing and
what is failing. You've mentioned a bunch of stuff, but given no useful
details.
