Q: 

Ad-Hoc wireless network in C#

Hello all!

I would like to auto-create an ad-hoc wireless network from my laptop. I use windows XP SP3 and I want to do it using C#.

I have seen some libraries for mobile, but I havent found something regrading PC. Is there an API to do that ?

Thank you.

A: 

Ad-hoc network are usually used in Ubiquitous Computing (smart homes). For a laptop, it depends what you'd like to connect to, as ad-hoc usually work with many devices you control.

May be you mean connecting to whatever network you can, in which case it's more on the OS-level.

Thank for your response. I want to create an ad-hoc so other computers can connect to my computer. I dont want to connect to other networks, just create my own ad-hoc wireless network

On PC there is no need for a ad-hoc network. A Wifi network would do fine. See: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/setup/adhoc.mspx

I know how to do that, but i want to write a C# application that does it

That's pretty much going to the driver level which, to my knowledge, is not supported on Windows. I say that because people who make softwares that process the Wifi at low level only do it on Linux with success.
