Managing Wireless Network Connections with C # and Compact Framework

Question

The name kinda summarizes it - I need to be able to program the connection with a known access point (SSID and credentials will be loaded during device preparation). I understand that the Compact Framework SDK and the OpenNETCF SDK offer some helper methods, but I cannot find a good tutorial on how to use them.

Answer 1

The OpenNETCF Smart Device Framework is probably the easiest mechanism for this. Chanllenge wirelessly is that OEM radios (whether device or not) can choose any number of ways to advertise an interface. Perhaps this is a simple NDIS device with proprietary controls (a real pain for the interface) or at the other end using Wireless Zero Config (WZC) . SDF tries to handle any scenario, providing more and more options depending on what the hardware interface advertises.
