I have a dialup connection in my system namely "Personal Internet Movil" and i need to connect and disconnect this connection using C#.
You can use this code, and these import statements and enums do detect a connection, fire up the Dialup box, and then hangup when you're done. If you don't want the user to select the dialup connection then user InternetAutodial/InternetAutodialHangup pair rather. But Please note that this pair will ONLY use whatever dialup is set as the default.

//BEGIN
InternetConnectionState flags = 0;
int nConnection = 0;
bool bInternet = InternetGetConnectedState(ref flags,0);
if (bInternet == false)
{
//Not Connected
if (flags == 0)
{
//Do something to tell the user to install some internet connection
}
int nResult = InternetDial(IntPtr.Zero,"",(int)InternetDialFlags.INTERNETDIALFORCEPROMPT , ref nConnection , 0);
switch(nResult)
{
case 87://Bad Parameter for InternetDial - Couldn't Connect";
break;
case 668://No Connection for InternetDial - Couldn't Connect";
break;
case 631://User Cancelled Dialup
break;
default://Unknown InternetDial Error
break;
case 0://Connection Succeeded
break;
}
//Do whatever you need to do on the internet (send mail etc)
InternetHangUp(nConnection,0);
//DONE
