I am looking to communicate via RFCOMM to another Bluetooth device. I want to use C++ (VS2008) for the application. I already know of the 32feet library, but was unsure if it would work for C++. Does anyone know of a good starting point for this kind of project? Or possibly 32feet samples written in C++? I want a simple, easy to use API for Bluetooth using C++.

You can do Bluetooth programming using BT sockets into the OS Bluetooth stack. This page discusses socket usage: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa362928(v=vs.85).aspx

This page has links to download Bluetooth SDK from Microsoft: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa363058(v=vs.85).aspx
