I am trying to find a way to have my Win10 IoT Core system display on a local screen via HDMI (this part is fine), as well as be accessible through remote access and be mirrored.
The idea is that it can be remote accessed and controlled from another computer. And if needed, the application can be mirrored purely for a view-only display.
Would any code offer me the ability to remote access and/or mirror my application over the network to other devices.
I have already tried the Win10 IoT Remote Client and I get the issue where it just displays a white screen but still allows my mouse and keyboard input to go through remotely. I am looking for an alternative way to do this.
Any insight to either of these questions would be greatly appreciated.
What device were you using, Raspberry Pi, DragonBoard or MinnowBoard or other device? And which build of Windows IoT Core were you testing the Remote Client? From release 16299, Remote Client does not support for Raspberry Pi. Please use a board with accelerated graphics such as Minnowboard Max or Dragonboard or attach a monitor for local display, and remote client works. Please refer to the known issue in the release note.
If you were not using Raspberry Pi, you can refer to the troubleshooting, here introduced how to troubleshoot the white screen issue when trying to connect.

Please has anyone used bglib or BleDriver.NET to connect to a BLE device? I need help in using any of these libraries.
The issue is I have a bluegiga bluetooth dongle and a bluetooth calliper. I want to get data from the calliper through an existing C# desktop application. The desktop application runs on Windows 8 and 8.1, but it is just a windows desktop application. I am able to use the libraries to open the dongle's port but I can not connect with the calliper.
Can someone throw some light into this for me?
Thank you very much.
I finally found a solution to the above problem. The caliper is designed in such a way that it cannot be used through a customers' bespoke application, thus requires its manufacturer's Bluetooth application to work.
I’ve got an application running over Citrix that needs to take a pic with a webcam attached to the client PC. The app is coded in C# and using DirectShow libraries. Citrix XenApp is version 7.x, clients are on Windows 7 and 10. Remote Desktop and Citrix seem to have the same issue.
Everything works fine on the fat client. On Citrix or Remote Desktop, of course my local webcam doesn’t show up but the “Citrix HDX Web Camera” does. When I use that and try to start the camera I get the error “Failed to add a video capture filter.”
Going on the filter hint, I loaded GraphEdit onto the server and ran that through an RDP client. I can see the Citrix HDX Web Camera as a capture source but it has no input or output pins. Not sure what to do with that.
I’ve been looking around the web for days, but no luck. There are hints around that camera access doesn’t work in Citrix by default, but it can be done. Citrix even has a support article that talks about HDX Realtime Webcam Video Compression, but it lacks technical details. It’s more about config options and not about coding.
I’m sure this can be done as there are third party products that bridge the gap for the benefit of other applications. Does anybody have a link to some good information about coding this into one’s own application? Or even to point out some wrong direction, like “Don’t bother with DirectShow. You should be using…”
Many thanks.
The same issue on my environment that the Citrix HDX Web Camera has no output pin.
If you check the pin properties on your local machine, you may see like:
Prefered Media Types:
Major type: Video
Subtype type: YUY2
Format type: VideoInfo
rcSrc {X=0,Y=0,Width=0,Height=0}
rcDest {X=0,Y=0,Width=0,Height=0}
--
etc..
I guess the media type is not in the system, so the pin cannot be rendered. Unfortunately I don't know what I need to install.
I'm trying to broadcast a bluetooth signal from a Raspberry Pi 2 running Windows Iot Core so that I can connect to it from smartphones and other devices, but I've been stuck for the last couple days on actually receiving a pairing signal.
Using the Windows Bluetooth docs I am able to broadcast the signal and I can see it from my desktop as well as from my phone.
However, this is as far as I can get. I want to be able to pair without a PIN (the device will not have a screen), but the pairing fails any time the device is selected.
I am using
SocketProtectionLevel.BluetoothEncryptionAllowNullAuthentication
and
DevicePairingKinds.None
But the connection callback is never hit. I have looked at many similar questions that are either unanswered or do not have the appropriate information since I am using an RPI2 and not a desktop app.
I am not looking to pair via the web interface, but simply through code
.
[UPDATE]
I've tried the 32feet.NET library but it appears to be too old to support the PI2.
I also tried a few NuGet packages, nothing seems to work yet.
I am not master in IoT but recently, I have started exploring it so I know Raspberry Pi 2 is hardware and we can use it to develop some basic IoT device/concepts. I can not help you with the code but may be with some idea.
I remember, for making any embedded system, we used serial port of pc and transferred command to devices. Something similar I found in one of the tutorial from David Jones. It is about to connect Bluetooth to windows 10 using serial port.
In both the explanations, SPP (Serial Port Profile) is used and also Universal Windows App is referenced. May be you get some start point or spark to comlete you work.
Check this and this. It also uses RPi 2.
I'm currently working on getting a Leonardo device recognized and communicating with my app over a serial port in C# for the Windows 8 App Store. I'm using http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn312121(v=vs.85).aspx#step2 as a guide, in conjunction with http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/USB-CDC-Control-sample-5ba19caa to guide me.
I'm having problems however in the sense that my Arduino device isn't showing up despite me entering my PID/VID and Class/Subclass/Protocol so I feel I'm missing some steps and was hoping someone that has experience with this could point me to a more specific/granular example.
My device is an Arduino Leonardo and I'm running windows 8.1 using Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate, code is in C#
Any help is appreciated!
Just general thoughts on regular windows applications (not aware of W8 AppStore):
Might help or might not, in the second case, sorry for wasting your time...
To get a "regular COM" device in Windows, without any additional drivers, you should make the device appear as USB Communication Device Class (aka CDC) - this is, among others, done via the appropriate class/subclass/protocol. The VID/PID don't care. This means the device should provide CDC/ACM USB descriptors to the enumerating USB host (windows) and implement the required endpoints and commands - supposedly there is already something existing for your board and you downloaded the firmware to it, right? You might want to try to connect such configured device to windows and after successful enumeration, new COM port should appear. If you program regular application, you just connect to such COM port via SerialPort class instance, no matter it is provided via USB subsystem... If this works, you should be able to start the AppStore part (where I have no clue how to help).
I'm just going to answer this as not currently possible. I ended up writing a desktop WPF application using metro UI/UX guidelines. Between that and ClickOnce deployment the store app feel is fairly well recreated, despite the store being ideal.
I sincerely hope that Microsoft decides to support this in the near future, the Metro SDK is really nice and I would love to eventually port it.
As a minor project in my degree I would like to communicate mobile and pc .I am interested to communicate through bluetooth is it possible to do so in c#?
If possible please provide me list of application or hardware i would requiere in order to do so.
thanks in advance
If (and it's a big if based on the lack of information in your question) you mean "How do I write an app on my PC, using C#, that can communicate with a Windows Mobile device that is connected to my PC via ActiveSync or WMDC" then the answer is RAPI. A free, open-source managed wrapper for it is here.
Yes its possible if its with windows mobile phone or pocket pc with bluetooth. You need a bluetooth enabled computer and mobile phone. For dev you need to download the windows mobile 6 sdk.
Then developing of the communication between desktop app and mobile phone app, you can use the 32feet.Net is open source.
When you download it and installs (well it unpacks to program files folder) you will have the dll that you make reference to in Visual Studio. Also you will get some sample apps. One of them is a Bluetooth Chat that works in Desktop, Pocket PC and SmartPhone.
Another option you could use is set up a web service that acts like an intermediary between the device and your machine. One huge benefit of this is that no longer are you bound by the distance requirements of bluetooth.
Of course if you're trying to build some sort of proximity service (do z when item x is 3 meters from item y) then bluetooth is probably the way to go.
