Unfortunatelly there is no managed API to bluetooth, you have to use some
P/invoke features.

My first recommendation is to google for what you need.
For example:

I believe that you can use the OpenNET Compact Framework libraries to
access Bluetooth through the Socket class using managed code.

Most probably OpenNET will have a working set of classes for bluetooth.

My post was misleading, I meant features in teh framework are not existence.
There are third party tools, libraries and examples around the web that can
be used though.

I tried searching for more info regarding this OpenNET libraries but I am a
little confuse about this.

Are these libraries made by Microsoft? Would you mind posting the link where
these libraries can be downloaded?

Thanks.

No, they are not by Microsoft, but that is not a mark against their
quality or functionality!

You can get the assemblies here: http:///www.opennetcf.org

You can also check out SharpUSBLib at http://www.icsharpcode.net

Hi,

Nop, they are not from MS, but they make a super solid, super util library
for mobile devices.
And the best is that it's free :)

I've been using different versiosn for a couple of years now and I have
never had any trouble.
