Get local Bluetooth address

[mbg_is_doing_VB]

Folks,

I'm hoping someone here can provide me with a simple runnable example... :-)

I need to write an application that retrieves the local Bluetooth address, that is the Bluetooth address of the machine the program is running on (will be a Windows Mobile Phone).

I have managed to find serveral examples that search for and show the BT addresses of other devices, but I don't need that kind of complicated stuff. I just need the local address. In VB.Net if possible, but C++ will do fine also.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.


Thanks.

I don't know the answer to your question, sorry.

But I am aware of a partially-completed, on-line book from a pair of MIT professors, that might contain the clues you are looking for. The book is "Bluetooth for Programmers", by Albert Huang and Larry Rudolph, and can be found at http://people.csail.mit.edu/rudolph/Teaching/Articles/BTBook-march.pdf

Good luck with your problem.

Mike
