	Optional Authentication As Boolean = true,
	Optional Encryption As Boolean = false,
	Optional Timeout As UInteger = 10000
) As Integer

public:
int Connect(
	long long Address, 
	Guid Service, 
	unsigned char Channel = 0, 
	bool Authentication = true, 
	bool Encryption = false, 
	unsigned int Timeout = 10000
)

Parameters

Address  Int64

The remote Bluetooth device address.

Service  Guid

The Bluetooth Service UUID. If the Channel parameter is zero, the system attempts to use Service to resolve the remote channel corresponding to the service. The service class is a normalized 128-bit GUID, defined by the Bluetooth specification. Common GUIDs are defined by the Bluetooth Assigned Numbers document. Alternatively, a unique GUID may be used for a domain-specific application.

Channel  Byte  (Optional)

The RFCOMM channel number. If zero the Service UUID will be used.

Authentication  Boolean  (Optional)

Specifies that authentication is required for a connect operation to complete successfully. Setting this option actively initiates authentication during connection establishment, if the two Bluetooth devices were not previously authenticated.

Encryption  Boolean  (Optional)

The option enforces encryption to establish a connection. Encryption is only available for authenticated connections.

Timeout  UInt32  (Optional)

The connect timeout in milliseconds. The default value is 10000 milliseconds.

Return Value

The method starts a connection operation to a remote device. If the method success that does not mean that the connection was established. That just means that the connection operation was started. The real connection result will be passed to the OnConnect event handler.

NOTE: BlueSoleil does not support Authentication and Encryption parameters per connection.
