I've started playing with the OpenNETCF Framework to capture information related to the WiFi connection available on the device I am writing an application for. I found a very usefull example at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa446491.aspx but found that:
a. I could not get the MAC address for the AP I was currently connected to through this methodology. b. This referenced an older version of the framework making use of deprecated classes and methods.
I found references on the OpenNETCF website that the .Net.Networkinformation namespace was the current route to take to get to what I was looking for. Unfortunatly some quality time with Google was unable to find any meaningfull examples or documentation for this namespace.
So I come here.
What I am looking to expose is the following for my application.
- Currently active network adaptor.
- If current adaptor is wireless and connected.
- Information (e.g. MAC Address and Name) of Access Point currently connected to.
