Where To Find This DLL
-
I'm trying the C# example here: [Changing the Bluetooth Radio Mode | Microsoft Learn](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/bb416244(v=msdn.10)?redirectedfrom=MSDN#sample-code) It's referencing BthUtil.dll. I can't find this DLL anywhere. How can I find this? Thanks
In theory, theory and practice are the same. But in practice, they never are.” If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind.

Look at the date on the article. It's from 14 years ago and really doesn't apply today. From what I can tell, BthUtil.dll was part of Windows CE/Mobile, which doesn't exist anymore. It was never part of full-blooded Windows. You're looking at an article for Windows Mobile!

I'm not sure that even if you find it, it would be any use to you - BthUtil.dll is part of the Windows Mobile (WM) API which was a derivative of WinCE and which finally died the death back in 2013 - it ran on relatively short lived hardware that certainly isn't being made these days and MS ended support for it back in 2019. If you are targeting WM deliberately in 2024 then you have to ask yourself "why am I doing this?" as it's going to get increasingly hard to find hardware it will still run on that works! If you are trying to get something working and didn't realize it was a WM app example you were following then that's your problem, right there! :D
