[Download] TransNTFS v1.0.0.1 – support for folders, symbolic and hard links and more

I have updated TransNTFS, my managed implementation for the transactional NTFS APIs that have been introduced with Windows Vista. TransNTFS now also supports the following operations under a transaction:

• Creation and deletion of folders
• Deletion of files
• Creation of symbolic links
• Creation of hard links

It comes with complete documentation (as always) and can be downloaded from http://www.wintoolzone.com/ListDotNET.aspx?Listtype=3

Working with properties in Managed C++?

Then read this article by someone who knows Managed C++ very well. His blog is here.

WinToolZone.Bluetooth – Added device enumeration support

WinToolZone.Bluetooth, the managed Bluetooth API for the desktop that I am working on, now has the support for enumerating devices as well. The snippet below exemplifies it:

    Bluetooth bth = new Bluetooth();
            
    // EnumRadios(bth);

    if (bth.RefreshDevices(false, true, true, true, true, null) == false)
    {
         Console.WriteLine("Unable to enum devices");
         return;
    }

    foreach (BluetoothDevice device in bth.Devices)
    {
         Console.WriteLine("Devicename: {0}", device.Name);
         Console.WriteLine("LastSeen: {0}", device.LastSeen.ToString());
         Console.WriteLine("LastUsed: {0}", device.LastUsed.ToString());
         Console.WriteLine("Connected: {0}", device.IsConnected.ToString());
         Console.WriteLine("Remembered: {0}", device.IsRemembered.ToString());
         Console.WriteLine("Authenticated: {0}", device.IsAuthenticated.ToString());
         Console.WriteLine("DeviceClass: {0}", device.DeviceClassID);
         Console.WriteLine("Address: {0}\n", device.Address.ToString());
                
    }

And below is an output screenshot:

WinToolZone.Bluetooth – Managed Bluetooth API for the desktop

One of the communication protocols not present in .NET Framework class libraries is Bluetooth. So today, I started to work on my implementation of a managed API for Bluetooth programming – WinToolZone.Bluetooth. I am authoring it using Managed C++ and leveraging the Microsoft Bluetooth stack APIs.

I just completed implementing the support for enumerating the Bluetooth radios on a machine. Below is a C# program that exemplifies how they can be enumerated:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using WinToolZone;

namespace BTHCSClient
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Bluetooth bth = new Bluetooth();
            if (bth.RefreshRadios())
            {
                foreach (BluetoothRadio radio in bth.Radios)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("RadioName: {0}", radio.Name);
                    Console.WriteLine("Address: {0}", radio.Address.ToString());
                    Console.WriteLine("ManuID: {0}", radio.ManufacturerID);
                    Console.WriteLine("LMPSubversion: {0}", radio.LMPSubversion);
                    Console.WriteLine("DeviceClass: {0}", radio.DeviceClass);
                }
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Unable to enumerate BTH radios");
            }
        }
    }
}
