Thread: Practical.NET 2.0 Networking Projects

This book tells you how to communicate between wired ma¬chines and between other networks and mobile devices through .Net Framework 2.0. In six chapters the author tells you all specific aspects of network programming. This book' helps you build a variety of networking apps like Bluetooth. RFID to sockets pro¬gramming. and chat servers by using var¬ious APIs within .Net Framework as well as third-party SDKs. The first chapter tells you about Socket programming and about building a chat app that works similar to Windows Live messengers usingTCP lIP.

In the next chapter you learn how to communicate with other serial devices the new Serial Port class available in the .NET Framework 2.0 and the .NET Compact Framework 2.0. Chapter 3 shows you how to use GrFinger Fingerprint SDK to integrate Microsoft Fingerprint Reader into your .NET 2.0 Windows app. Chapter 4 is about infrared Programming. which tells you how to build an app that allows two devices to communicate wirelessly using Infrared. Last two chapters are on RFID and how to build a security system by interfacing Windows app with an external sensor and a web cam to monitor unwanted activities.

Hi.
I'm currently working on a school major project, and my teacher had told me to try out on the projects in this book "Practical .NET 2.0 Networking Projects" by Wei-Meng Lee.
I'm now trying out the 1st project in Chapter 2, "Serial Communications", of the book. There's this part where I've to connect the PC with a handphone through bluetooth so that I can issue AT commands (pg84, 85 of the book). However my handphone just can't conenct with the PC whenever I try to pair them up.
I'd tried the serial chat with another PC for the earlier part of the project1 and it worked. I just can't figure out why my handphone doesn't work. The handsets that I'm using are Nokia N76 and Nokia 3250. And I'm using MS Visual Studio 2005 to run the project.
Does anyone know the solutions to this problem? Because I'm just exposed to all these new softwares, so I'm new to it.
Thanks!
