Hi, i have created a multithreaded program using InTheHand lib for receiving files from mobile phones.

All works fine, but i cant figure out how to get a device name, right after the file transfer or during it. The problem is, that most of those

mobs turn BT radio on when sending file. For me, they appear to be out of range when the file is transfered.

For file transfer i am using OBEX

ObexListenerContext olc = ol.GetContext();
ObexListenerRequest olr = olc.Request;    .......and so on

and this...

string name = bc.GetRemoteMachineName(BluetoothAddress.Parse(olc.Request.UserHostAddress));

gives me just the MAC address 

Any ideas?

 Thanks!
 

Yup, sounds likely that the device will be 'out of range' after the transfer is complete.  Looking at the sources, getting the device's name currently isn't supported.

You could add that feature if you want.  Get the sources from http://www.codeplex.com/32feet, and make changes like: to ObexListenerContext..ctor(Socket) fetch the device name just after it fetches the endpoint values, then add a new parameter to ObexListenerRequest..ctor and a matching public property RemoteDeviceName.  We could even include any such changes you make if you find it works well...

Otherwise see Andy's ObexServer source code (downloads here) which use his Brecham.Obex library.  Although it appears not to get the device name currently one can see where one could (it currently prints out the RemoteEndPoint).
