Bluetooth GPS

I have a GPS program I wrote with the help of OpenNetCF's GPS library,
which is great by the way.

The only gripe I have (Not with OpenNetCF) is every time I turn on the
GPS unit and try to connect, it asks me if I want to add the device to
my Bluetooth device list, then prompts me for my passkey, then I have
to go and setup the outgoing port. This is just annoying to do
everytime I want to connect to the device. Is there any way to
automate this?

I'm sure there isn't a way through managed code, but is there a way to
accomplish this through native code? I dug through MSDN and couldn't
find anything.

Thanks,
Chris
 
Why don't you just add it to the bluetooth profile list, so then next time
you connect, you will not have to key in the passkey?

It's in my bluetooth device list. There is no place to enter a passkey
there. It has a place for the device name and whether it connects to a
serial port Maybe you are seeing something I'm not.

Actually, this time when I setup the outgoing port I didn't mark it as
secure it didn't prompt me for the passkey. So that may solve that
issue. But back to my original question, is there a way to
programatically setup an outgoing port or add a device to my bluetooth
device list?

I'm using WM5 PPC.
 
I was about to suggest that, turn off authentication. But I don't know any
way of programmically doing it as I have never done it.

Try looking at the bluetooth classes that are available with OpenNETCF SDF.
