I have a question to everyone

I am trying to develop an application that recieves information from a
bluetooth adaptor (which is plugged into a detector via a serial port
connection), the information will be recieved by teh bluetooth on my Pocket PC

At the moment will be recieving data in bytes.

Is there a easy way to implement something like this.

Hi Thaynann,

A bluetooth serial port is just like any other comms port, i.e. you can read
and write to it. The issues I found are:

Make sure you know what comms port is assigned but make the port number
variable in your code. My recent experience with Symbol 8860 was that in one
release they used comm port 5 and, in the next release, they used comm port 8.

You need to 'discover' the device you will be comminicated with then (in my
case anyway) you need to 'bond' with the device.

I used an excellent piece of software from: http://franson.com/serialtools/

Cheers, Peter

Thanx for the help Peter, i managed to com across software called BTAccess,
from http://www.opennetcf.org. that allowed me to connected from my pocket PC
to my bluetooth adaptor on my PC, and i have also found a Serial.dll that is
apparently a wrapper for the dlls that i need to read/write to comm ports,
which i am hoping will do what i want it to.

all i need to do is read the information coming from the bluetooth adaptor
into the Pocket PC.
