Wireless Connect event on .NET Compact Framework?

[WannaFly]

I'm developing an application that needs to be connected and disconnected from the network (wireless) - while disconnected it will store the data locally, then when it finds a wireless connection it will send the data to the server- problem being i cannot find a way to detect when there is a wireless connection in the .NET compact framework. I'm developing for Pocket PC / Win CE - any help would be great, I've been searching google forever. Thanks.

You could try pinging the gateway.
Anytime it should be able to ping the gateway there would be wireless connection right...
Don't ask me how with .net compact framework but its just an idea 🙂

I'm sure there is some open source code available if you don't know how to do it yourself.

Yah I had already thought about that - problem is i'd rather find an OS thrown event so i dont have to have my program continually doing something or checking every 5 minutes, etc. Thanks for the idea though.

This should have all the information you need. I didn't have time to read through it all, though.
