How do I disconnect a Bluetooth device?

Question

I have a device actively connected to the computer via Bluetooth. From my C#.NET application I wish to disconnect the device so that the computer is no longer connected to the device.

How would I go about doing this?

I'm guess it would have something to do with finding the appropriate Socket and disconnecting that socket? (But this is purely venturing a guess as I know nothing about Socket connections.)

Any ideas?

In my experience with Bluetooth (Java and Perl, not c# specifically), the connection begins to tear down when you close the input/output streams. Then the final dose of poison is to close the socket. /$0.02
