BTDaemon Configuration

The component accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

BTDaemon Configuration Settings


	BTAuthenticate: Whether authentication is required. This option specifies whether authentican is reuired for the connection. This must be set before a connection is attempted (or before the accepting connections in the case of BTDaemon). When set to True the cause the system to actively intiate authentication when the connection is attempted if the devices were not already authenticated. The system will display the user interface for passkey exchange outside the context of the application. The connection will fail if the devices are not successfully authenticated. The default value is False.
	BTEncrypt: Forces an encrypted connection if set to True. This setting specifies whether the connection must be encrypted. If set to True the system will encrypt connections. The default value is False.
	BTMTUMax: The maximum RFCOMM MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit). This setting specifies the maximum RFCOMM MTU for new connections. This must be set before connecting to take effect. The default value is 0, meaning the system defaults will be used. This is an advanced setting and should not normally be set.
	BTDefaultMTU: The default RFCOMM MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit). This setting specifies the default RFCOMM MTU for new connections. This must be set before connecting to take effect. The default value is 0, meaning the system defaults will be used. This is an advanced setting and should not normally be set.
	BTMTUMin: The minimum RFCOMM MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit). This setting specifies the minimum RFCOMM MTU for new connections. This must be set before connecting to take effect. The default value is 0, meaning the system defaults will be used. This is an advanced setting and should not normally be set.
	CloseStreamAfterTransfer: If true, the component will close the upload or download stream after the transfer. This setting determines whether the input or output stream is closed after the transfer completes. When set to True (default), all streams will be closed after a transfer is completed. In order to keep streams open after the transfer of data, set this to False. the default value is True.

Base Configuration Settings


	GUIAvailable: Tells the component whether or not a message loop is available for processing events. In a GUI-based application, long-running blocking operations may cause the application to stop responding to input until the operation returns. The component will attempt to discover whether or not the application has a message loop and, if one is discovered, it will process events in that message loop during any such blocking operation. In some non-GUI applications an invalid message loop may be discovered that will result in errant behavior. In these cases, setting GuiAvailable to false will ensure that the component does not attempt to process external events.
	UseBackgroundThread: Whether threads created by the component are background threads. If set to True, when the component creates a thread the thread's IsBackground property will be explicitly set to True. By default this setting is False.
	UseManagedSecurityAPI: Tells the component whether or not to use the system security libraries or a managed implementation. By default the component will use the system security libraries to perform cryptographic functions. This means calls to unmanaged code will be made. In certain environments this is not desirable. To use a completely managed security implementation set this setting to True. Setting this to True tells the component to use the internal managed implementation instead of using the system's security API. Note that when this value is set the product's system dll is no longer required as a reference, as all unmanaged code is stored in this file.
