I recently became interested in Bluetooth communication between my PocketPC and my Motorola cell phone. I primarily want to be able to send and receive SMS messages from my PocketPC through my cell phone. For some strange reason Microsoft decided that the messaging software supplied with a standard PocketPC will not be able to send and receive SMS messages unlike the messaging software supplied with a PocketPC with cell phone capabilities embedded.
I definitely want to use C#.NET to develop this simple SMS application but now I need some Bluetooth library to communicate with my cell phone.
In my first search attempt I came across a Bluetooth library for .NET created by 32feet.NET, unfortunately this library only supports the Microsoft Bluetooth stack and not the Widcomm Bluetooth stack. My HP iPAQ uses the Widcomm Bluetooth stack and not the Microsoft Bluetooth stack.
In my second search attempt I came across a Bluetooth library for .NET created by High Point Software which supports the Widcomm stack but it is not a free library. I will be able to obtain a free evaluation copy of the library. This copy will pop up a message each time the application connects to the Bluetooth stack. There is also a limited edition of the libraries available but I do not know what the implications are of these libraries.
