How do I determine "Network Location" in .NET?

Question

In Windows 7 (and Vista I think), a network you're connected to is assigned to a "location" e.g. Home / Work or Public.

Is it possible to determine the current network location programatically?

Answer 1

Using Windows API Code Pack, you are able to get the same list of networks that Windows shows, by using NetworkListManager.GetNetworks(NetworkConnectivityLevels.All).

Then, there's a property named Category on each network which tells whether it is public or private (home / work). There seems to be no way to distinguish from 'home' and 'work' though.
