I need to write a PC Windows application to transfer a file from a PC to my gadget using BLE.

   

I'm looking for an example, preferably in one of the languages supported by Visual Studio 2013. 

   

Thanks in advance,

   

Paul.

As far as I can see this is only possible for a Windows Store ("Modern") application and then only after you have paired the device using the Windows Bluetooth settings (i.e. it does not handle scanning properly - but this may have changed for Windows 10).

   

You can find an introduction and some code here:

Hi John,

   

I was hoping it would be a little easier, but that will get me started.

   

Thanks,

   

Paul.
