Bluetooth in C++

Question

I am looking to communicate via RFCOMM to another Bluetooth device. I want to use C++ (VS2008) for the application. I already know of the 32feet library, but was unsure if it

Answer 1

Building apps using the Microsoft stack works fairly well (XP and Vista work great, trying to run the same apps under Windows 7-64bit does not work so well...)

The real advantage to 32feet.net is that the Bluetooth support on Windows is heavily Balkanized - you never know on a given machine whether it is using the Microsoft, Broadcom, Toshiba, BlueSolei, or some other stack. While these are all mostly compatible over-the-air, the APIs are completely different for each. Building with 32feet.net lets your application run on a larger subset of machines... That said, I have not tried building it into a C++ application - sorry.
