Hi all,

How can I write a VB.NET function that returns detectable WiFi networks?
That is, how can I obtain a list of available network SSID's, MAC Address and
IP Address of WIFI hotspots within range?

Regards and Thanks,
Nitin
 
I suggest trying to find a third-party control as I am 99% positive that the
..NET Framework doesn't have support for WiFi Scanning.
 
Hi,

Wardriving is rather surreptitious. I want to enumerate all the WiFi enabled
devices in my room, and then possibly interact with them using C#. Are there
any built-in classes in C# that can list all WiFi devices in range?

Yes, it's surrepetitious. But a wardriving program gathers exactly the
info you're asking for. I mentioned it because you can probably find
an open-source wardriving program you can examine to see how it's done.
Information will probably be sparse or non-existent otherwise.
