Bluetooth and C#
Marcel Holtmann
maintainerHi guys,
I was playing a little bit with Mono and C# lately and I think we are really in need for some good C# Bluetooth bindings. I would expect that Microsoft already defined some, but I wasn't able to locate any good documentation about Windows Bluetooth programming with C#. I found some crap about the CE mobile/embedded stuff, but not for the desktop OS. However there exists some stuff from www.32feet.net which tries to provide a framework for Bluetooth, but I am not really sure if it is usable and if it would make sense to implement the same interface for Linux. Some example code of how to use it can be found here:
http://www.totalannihilation.dk/wordpress/code/BluetoothConsoleScanner.cs
So does anybody used C# under Windows XP for Bluetooth programming so far or is the only option still C++?
Regards
Marcel

Good idea. If you want to write a BlueZ#, then through P/Invoke you would be able to call into libbluetooth.so.

No, not that I'm aware of - that is not in .NET Framework 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0. Also Mono does not currently ship any.

There was something at OpenNETCF.org for the .NET CF but it has dependencies on external COM interop components by InTheHand.

I am not aware of a free, widely used Bluetooth framework for .NET. If you come upon any others, please let me know!
Best regards,
Andreas

I am not going to do this, because I am looking for a standard solution and not a home brewed one.

This is the stuff from www.32feet.net now.

Every standard interface would need some kind of implementation - there is no Microsoft stack on Linux so that would be BlueZ in some way.

yes, but that are implementation details. And with a standard interface they are hidden.
