Hi, Mikal631

The followed your link and read some articles and i doubt that,

My PC does not has built-in IrDA port and ,So I use the USB-IrDA (Like Flash drive but it IrDA instead of storage) instead. Does it have "IrCOMM" ? if not which port i can use?

The language i preferred are vc++ ,c#, or java.

(Sorry about my english)

Thank you ffor all help.

I have found something about "IrDA Programming with windows sockets"

But I think it will not work in my case.

because the socket have to use service name and do something like handshake between
two device, but i want to receive raw data from remote control and i think it cannot handshake with pc IrDA. Isn't it?

If it can do, please let me know.

Mikal613

in my article it was discussed that it wouldnt work on a pc because you need sockets

Hi aramboy,

Have u read this link?
Do u understand the layers and their functionality?

If yes i think you will get your answer.

and about handshake i think every device comes with a device driver that is the lowest layer.

i think, This should take care of handshake!
