[husky_doggy]

hi,

is there any way I can send a mulitple line of string to a smartphone device by bluetooth automatically when the smartphone's bluetooth is turned on and within the PC's bluetooth area?

i am using VB 2008..

You would have to use the serial port, although you would have to have programs running on both devices to check when the ports become available.

Take a look at this article for more info

cant I just use the serialport namespace?

I used this to connect a bluetooth device...and i have also done a simple chat on hyperterminal wiv my laptop's bluetooth and a PC with rs232 adapter.
but cant do it with my smartphone and laptop

i dont seems to find what COM port the phone uses on the bluetooth...and neither the COM port the laptop uses for bluetooth....

and how do you add the library fro the link you give me?

Hi,
You can do it with the serial port - you possibly need to set up a partnership and then use the serial port you assign.

Get the library from Peter Foots' site
