Beginners > Bluetooth Access

I\'ll be blunt about this. I want to be able to access and controll/update the wiimote with the bluetooth device on my computer.

I use VB.NET for all of my PC developing. I did some basic searches and I\'m not quite sure where to start. If I can get my program to send and recieve reports from the Wiimote, I can run from there. So here is what I need to know:

I can already pair with a bluetooth device, I have a program that does that for me. I need to know how (using VB.NET) to access the list of available bluetooth devices on the computer. I then need to know how to send and recieve packets to and from the device. Once I have it doing this (and have a nice event set up for handling recieved packets) I should be able to work out the logic of handling the remote relatively easily, thanks to the wealth of information on the subject.

Can someone help me out with this \"should-be-so-simple\" operation? Thanks!
