how to get an SDP record for bluetooth service??

Question

Hi

I'm new to both winsock and bluetooth programming. I need to develop a bluetooth service to run on a pc. Looking at the MSDN library they say to use WSASetService(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa362921%28VS.85%29.aspx) function to publish a service.

The problem is that the WSAQUERYSET(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa362920%28VS.85%29.aspx) structure, that has to be passed to WSASetService, needs a binary SDP record and i don't know how to get it.

In the Windows embedded section of the MSDN library they describe a procedure to obtain an SDP record using Bthnscreate.

I installed Windows CE 6 to use this tool but i can't find it in the install directory nor in the entire system.

How can i get an SDP record?

Thanks!

Pay me to create it for you? No I'm kidding -- unless you need expert help. I'm maintainer of the 32feet.NET Bluetooth library for .NET. We include full SDP record parsing, creating, and diagnostic dumping. You should be able to create your record with our ServiceRecordBuilder class and then have it converted to binary form with method ServiceRecordCreator.CreateServiceRecord. See some documentation in the "Bluetooth SDP — Service Discovery Protocol" section in 32feet.NET -- User Guide
