Hello

I’m using 32feet library to discover Bluetooth radios. After discovering devices only some of them have names – rest of them uses MAC address as name. Is there something wrong in the 32feet library or this is how the Bluetooth just works.

I have Win XP SP2. Bluetooth 2.0 Class 1 from HAMA company www.hama.com

The CODE:

BluetoothClient bluetoothClient = new BluetoothClient();

btLastDevices = bluetoothClient.DiscoverDevices(255);

Please see below (report form device discovering) –

error marked with red.

This is important for me to get to know what type of device I’m trying to connect to.

Knowing if this is Phone or PDA or computer is not enough. I need to know the type “N70” and the manufacture too “Nokia”.

Thanks for help.

Unlike say in IrDA, in Bluetooth Discovery does not exchange the device's name; that has to be queried in a separate operation. One can see this in the Bluetooth select dialog when a new unknown device is first discovered, it appears first by its MAC Address and then it is updated with its name. So, if its the first time the computer has seen (discovered) the ones with the names missing, then that's likely what's occuring.  So either do another discovery a bit later; or on the respective BluetoothDeviceInfo objects re-check the DeviceName property a bit later, after calling Refresh http://32feet.net/library/InTheHand.Net.Sockets.BluetoothDeviceInfo.Refresh.html

I meet same problem !  Could you tell me how  to know what type of device? it is important to send image to the device!
