Bluetooth scan C#

Question

I'm developing a C# WinForms app on Windows 10. I want to perform a Bluetooth environment scan and get devices list all around the PC. I also want the RSSI of each device.

I have tried 32feet library but I can't access RSSI.

Have you a solution or should I migrate to WPF/UWP?

Answer 1

ok, I have found a solution here .

1. You first have to install Windows10 development kit.

2. Then in your project you have to add this library:

    C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Kits\\10\\UnionMetadata\\Windows.winmd 

   Or you can install the "UwpDesktop" NuGet Package.

3. This works with Console app, Winforms, WPF and UWP.

4. Here is a simple example:

    using Windows.Devices.Bluetooth.Advertisement; namespace BeaconExample { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { var watcher = new BluetoothLEAdvertisementWatcher(); watcher.Received += Watcher_Received; watcher.Start(); } private static void Watcher_Received(BluetoothLEAdvertisementWatcher sender, BluetoothLEAdvertisementReceivedEventArgs args) { Console.WriteLine(args.BluetoothAddress.ToString("x") + ";" + args.RawSignalStrengthInDBm); } } }
