I need to search for available wireless networks and take this list and store it. I tried searching in MSDN Library for information, plus Google. But no luck.
Kindly help me. Thanks.
The best you can do regarding the wireless connection is determining the connection type. There is no way to access or manipulate details about the connection.
See this MSDN article for more information on using NetworkInterface.NetworkInterfaceType to determine the connection type
Windows Phone (even Mango) does not have an API that exposes this information.

IP phones like NRP1000 or NRP1002 have a browser-based setting interface by which you can change all the phone settings. I was looking for some API or so, to do the same operation programmatically, but I could not find any document on this.
A hard way I think is to emulate all the http/TCP communications.
Any simpler suggestion?
Most VoIP phones support (auto)provisioning, usually few different methods of fetching configuration - pre-configured address, address based on manufacturer server, address from DHCP server, SIP multicast with ua-profile. Provisioning can be time-based (e.g. daily) and/or at phone reboot (which may be forced with SIP NOTIFY).
Refer to manufacturer documentation, perhaps contact manufacturer directly (I never heard of this brand but datasheet claims it supports provisioning). If something is missing look also at Fanvil documentation as first of these phones look definitively like one of Fanvil models.
Is there a way to get a notification when a new Wifi Network has been detected?
I glanced through the Native Wifi API Reference and found the WlanRegisterNotification function but I'm not sure if that includes what i am looking for. The remark does not mention it.
Yes, WlanRegisterNotification is indeed the correct function. You need to do a little digging in the documentation to find exactly what each notification provides, by looking at WLAN_NOTIFICATION_DATA (in the remarks section for WlanRegisterNotification), then WLAN_NOTIFICATION_ACM†. Specifically, you're looking for one of these two notifications:
wlan_notification_acm_network_available Which gives a notification when a connectable network is detected, and you're not currently connected to another network, and there isn't an automatic connection available.
wlan_notification_acm_scan_list_refresh (Windows 8+)
† ACM stands for "auto configuration module"
I spend lot of time searching how to determine the current network type such as WIFI, 3G, Ethernet.
But I cannot find any information online in windows platform.
I want to detect the Ethernet network type, but I cannot find any API that can retrieve the network type.
I've find Connection Manager for keyword but there's less information.
Did anyone have any idea?
Please help me...I was blocked by this for 2 weeks.
Thanks.
Look in the registry key HKLM\system\state\connections, there is are entries for each of the possible network types, for instance:
When connected to a wireless network:
[HKLM\system\state\Connections\Network]
Adapters="BCMSDDHD1"
Count=dword:00000001
Descriptions="Business World"
when connected to activesync:
[HKLM\system\state\Connections\Desktop]
Adapters=""
Count=dword:00000001
Descriptions="CurrentDTPTNetwork"
The Count value under HKLM\system\state\connections gives you the total number of active connections.
In HKLM\system\state\Hardware you can find the current power state of the various devices.
There is an API on Windows Mobile that makes it easier to access these values vs. going directly to the registry. See the SystemState class documentation, specifically the ConnectionsNetworkCount and ConnectionsCount properties.
Ive been all over looking for a way to disable the network adapter through M$ IP Helper routines.
For the majority of the code I've been using this api:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366071(v=VS.85).aspx
However, I do not see a way to actually disable the adapters .. If deleting the IP address associated with the adapter disables the adapter I will accept that, but wasn't sure.
Any help is highly appreciated
Thanks
I don't know if there is a simple API to disable it. I think you might have to go through the device manager API. SetupDiSetDeviceRegistryProperty + SPDRP_CONFIGFLAGS + CONFIGFLAG_DISABLED looks promising.
There are also some suggestions here.
I am trying to find the most used Network card on windows 200 or XP. I planned to obtain the number of packets sent trough each NIC to determine the main NIC.
I thought IP Helper might give me this information but also it looks like the functions in IP helper only give stats for all interfaces. I know this can be done. Any ideas?
Many Thanks...
Have you looked at WMI ? Here's an example of interrogating the set of network adaptors. Note that it includes stats such as the number of forwarded packets for each adaptor.
You could use from any number of available packet sniffer programs out there: Top Packet Sniffers
