[RESOLVED] Can I check the connection status?

[simoms]

Hi,
I want to check the PocketPC whether connection or not...

if the PocketPC can connect to the internet, then the application can be run..
if the pocketpc status is offline, then I enable the user switch on the wifi function!!

if you want to check for an internet connection you will have to try a http request

if you want to check for a network connection you will have to check the device's ip address. (if the ip address is not 127.0.0.1 then its connected to a network via activesync or wireless)

Hi,
httpRequest...

Dim Response As WebResponse
        Dim ResponseStream As Stream
        Dim Request As WebRequest
        Connect_To_Server = True
        Try
            Request = WebRequest.Create("http://www.google.com")
            Response = Request.GetResponse
        Catch webex As WebException
            Connect_To_Server = False
        Catch ex As Exception
            Connect_To_Server = False
        Finally
            Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default
            If Not IsNothing(Response) Then
                Response.Close()
            End If
        End Try

Connected...

Dim localEndPoint As New IPEndPoint(Dns.Resolve(Dns.GetHostName()).AddressList(0), 0)
        If localEndPoint.Address.ToString <> "127.0.0.1" Then
            Connected = False
        End If
