hello,

you can use bluetooth,this article will help :

http://dickchiang.blogspot.com/2008/09/bluetooth-programming-with-c.html[^]

below the sample snippet used to send a file to bluetooth device (taken from the same article).

string filename = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(openFileDialog1.FileName);
Uri u = new Uri("obex-push://" + devAddr.ToString() + "/" + filename);
ObexWebRequest owr = new ObexWebRequest(u);
owr.ReadFile(openFileDialog1.FileName);
ObexWebResponse response = (ObexWebResponse)owr.GetResponse();
response.Close();

in regard to Usb port u can use this method to get the port number for
further using .

SerialPort.GetPortNames();

Here is a link to the LibUSB code. It's a lib for controlling usb ports.

good luck :)

Solution 1

First mention the Nokia phone model.

Second there wireless options too like Bluetooth.

You need Nokia PC Suite, bluetooth connection in computer or USB to Serial port cable and nokia phone capable of connecting to computer via cable or bluetooth.

Who says C# can read only serial port? See here to read USB ports http://weblogs.asp.net/israelio/archive/2005/08/15/422637.aspx
