IsNetworkAlive for Windows CE

[temm31]

Hello,

I'm writing a small app for a windows cd 5.0 device in .net 2005. This will be connected via Wifi.
I am trying to determine when the device is connected to the network. The IsNetworkAlive api call works fine on a Windows 2000/xp pc (example follows)

Private Declare Function IsNetworkAlive Lib "SENSAPI.DLL" (ByRef lpdwFlags As Long) As Long
Const NETWORK_ALIVE_AOL = &H4
Const NETWORK_ALIVE_LAN = &H1
Const NETWORK_ALIVE_WAN = &H2

Dim Ret As Long
If IsNetworkAlive(Ret) = 0 Then
MsgBox "The local system is not connected to a network!"
Else
MsgBox "The local system is connected to a " + IIf(Ret = NETWORK_ALIVE_AOL, "AOL", _
IIf(Ret = NETWORK_ALIVE_LAN, "LAN", "WAN")) + " network!"
End If


Is it possible to do this on Windows CE?

Thank you.

The CF Framework already has everything you need to validate network connection. It's best if you use the framework. MSDN has a write up on how to do this at

It's pretty straight forward.
