Capture files send over bluetooth in C#

Question

I'm creating a WPF application for sending and receiving files over bluetooth. I'm using 32feet library for the same. I can send files using ObexObjectPush bluetooth service.

But when files are received using the technique, specified here , are not captured by my application, instead my computer captures it.

Here is my code:

  private void Listener(CancellationTokenSource token)
    {
        try
        {
            while (true)
            {
                using (var client = _listener.AcceptBluetoothClient())
                {
                    if (token.IsCancellationRequested)
                    {
                        return;
                    }

                    using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(client.GetStream()))
                    {
                        try
                        {  
                           // ...  Custom operation
                          //....
                        }
                        catch (IOException ex)
                        {                               
                            client.Close();
                            break;
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        catch (Exception exception)
        {
            // todo handle the exception
        }
    }

All I want to do is to capture all file received using bluetooth. Presently my system shows a popup for receiving file. I want to override this behaviour and want my application to receive it.

Any help in this will be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

The computer is capturing the received files because it has its own Bluetooth handler up and running and listening for requests.

You need to stop the " Bluetooth OBEX Service " Windows service on your computer, in order to prevent it from handling the received files instead of your WPF application.

NOTE: I prefer to disable the " Bluetooth OBEX Service " Windows service instead of stopping it, because it seems -at some circumstances- there are some other services cause this service to be started automatically again. By disabling it, you will avoid any future confusion.
