Hi All,

I wish to get a demo/introduction about Bluetooth application in
VB/VB.NET/C#...

ex: paring, connection, disconnect....etc.

Best regards,
Boki

AFAIK, there is no standard approach for these things. If I understand the
current level of technology, BT on the Desktop is done at the driver level
(by software furnished with the hardware), and no general-purpose API
exists.

BTW, if you want to use BT via Winsock, there is a "standard API." Look at
