Access Bluetooth RFID reader from WP7 SL application. How?


hi,

i'm developping application allows users scan rfid tags , perform related operations. using bluetooth-enabled rfid reader, plan have paired mobile devices.

now, library / sdk bundled rfid reader .net; far know, cannot directly loaded silverlight projects.

what best way fetch data reader then?

- possible create local service on wp7 device, .net service can use sdk, , return data?

- possible directly communicate via bluetooth virtual com port , send/receive byte arrays (commands / responses)?

- possible "force"-include sdk library in silverlight wp7 application?


thank help.


cheers,

jean

hi jean. i'm afraid answer bit disappointing you, but:

  • you cannot create .net application of kind on phone.
  • you cannot include .net library accesses bluetooth hardware in sl applications wp7.
  • although devices have bluetooth support, there no bluetooth api in first release. according mike harsh in comments here high in priority list future releases.

all this, last part, unfortunately means cannot develop kind of bluetooth applications wp7 @ moment. sorry.
