EDIT:
Pairing seems to be a problem ?
COM-ports ?
With devmgmt.msc admin can remove nonworking COM ports.

Bluetooth in Windows 7

TIPS: If you have Windows 8, copy bthprops.cpl from a Windows 7 PC, as that one looks like a normal program.

Hello Timo,

I havn't worked with it in quite a while and only on Windows 7.  I used Java blue cove  and windows 32 feet .NET libraries for applications.  One thing I learned after the fact is that the application on a device should broadcast a service.  Other devices running the application look for the service and then they can connect and send messages.

32Feet.NET library wraps the Windows SDK.  You could use a reflection tool to examine the SDK calls and see how they handle / avoid the errors in the versions targeting the latest Windows OS and apply similar code patterns in your application.

That's the approach I usually take when I cannot find much in forums concerning something I want to do.
