Is it possible to control Volume, Get network info and battery info on mono

I was wondering if it was possible to be able to control/get the system volume, get network information (i.e is it a wired or wireless connection, name of network, etc.) and get battery information with VB.Net using Mono on Ubuntu 12.10? Thanks.

Getting and controlling the master volume is fairly straightforward, you might want to take a look at my post in the VB.NET Code Bank:

I stress master volume because that's all it does, it'll not differentiate between sources.

Sadly, I can't help with the rest of your question.


Poppa.

I got the master control to work, and have found an overly complicated way of getting battery/network info.
