Detect WIFI connection in Windows Store App


I need to detect if the device my app is running on is currently connected to a WIFI network. I have read the guidance I know i can determine the "connection cost" but i specifically want to know if there is a way to tell if the device is connected to WIFI or not.


Solution

  • I found the solution:

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.networking.connectivity.networkadapter.ianainterfacetype

    now you can do something like this:

    switch (internetConnectionProfile.NetworkAdapter.IanaInterfaceType)
                    {
                        case 71:
                            networkStatus = InternetAccess.WLAN;
                            break;
    
     ect....
