C# Code for Bluetooth

Mar 24th, 2009
Hi, I am a student doing my Final Term Project.

I am suppose to create a GUI using C# that can control and interact with a Robot call Robonova-1. The robot will be connected to the PC via Bluetooth.

I was thinking to have a connection button in my GUI to allow it to establish the connection between the GUI and the robot, but I have no idea how I should go about working on it. Because I have never learn C# before.

Could any of the expert out there help me?

Why cant you access it. Heres the site content



As they say Necessity is mother of invention, I recently got a Jabra BT3030 Bluetooth headset. I paired it to my Windows Mobile phone. When I wanted to turn on the Bluetooth, I had to go to wireless manager and turn it on. I am a little bit lazy and had an idea why not map a button on the phone to toggle the bluetooh radio. But, this is not possible by default, so started working on a program to map to the button.

Fortunately it is very simple to interact with Bluetooth radio and devices on the phone using Windows Embedded Source Tools for Bluetooth Technology. This download contains bunch of C# files which you can directly use in your code. You will get classes such as BluetoothDevice and BluetoothRadio which allow you to control the device and paired devices.
C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.    1: using System;
  2.  
  3.    2: using System.Collections.Generic;
  4.  
  5.    3: using System.Text;
  6.  
  7.    4: using Microsoft.WindowsMobile.SharedSource.Bluetooth;
  8.  
  9.    5:  
  10.  
  11.    6: namespace ToggleBluetooth
  12.  
  13.    7: {
  14.  
  15.    8:     class Program
  16.  
  17.    9:     {
  18.  
  19.   10:         static void Main(string[] args)
  20.  
  21.   11:         {
  22.  
  23.   12:             BluetoothRadio brad = new BluetoothRadio();
  24.  
  25.   13:             if (brad.BluetoothRadioMode == BluetoothRadioMode.Off)
  26.  
  27.   14:                 brad.BluetoothRadioMode = BluetoothRadioMode.On;
  28.  
  29.   15:             else
  30.  
  31.   16:                 brad.BluetoothRadioMode = BluetoothRadioMode.Off;
  32.  
  33.   17:         }
  34.  
  35.   18:     }
  36.  
  37.   19: }

After that, I added a setup project and made sure that a shortcut for the application is under Programs folder, so that I can map it using the Buttons applet of Settings panel. After the install on the device, you should be able to see the program in the "Assign a program" list.

As usual, here are some links and blog post.

Hi there!
It's a very different things: Mobile Bluetooth API and Win32 (desktop) Bluetooth API. Moreover, there are at least 3 drivers more in addition to MS BT drivers.
I used Wireless Communication Library in my projects and it shown very good results for me.
