ResolveName Method

Resolves a device name to an address.

Syntax

[VB.NET]
Public Function ResolveName(ByVal HostName As String) As String

[C#]
public string ResolveName(string hostName);

Remarks

This method resolves a device name to a Bluetooth address. The Bluetooth address is returned by this method. For instance:

Console.WriteLine(btinfo.ResolveName("MYPHONE"));

Note: In Windows the component will internally call ListDevices (if it has not already been called by user code) and search the results to find the corresponding address. The additional step of listing devices is required because directly resolving a name to an address is not supported on Windows.
