How to determine pocket pc space and connection strength?

[Butt Chin Chuan]

I would like to set my application to determine the space
left in the pocket pc before I allowed them to download
something from the server (when the user is connected
wirelessly). I would also like to have the application to
determine the strength of the connection at the time of
the user wishes to download something. Can anyone please
give me some pointers? Thank you.

The following link contains code which will allow you to
query memory (mind the wrap around).

Not sure about the signal strength, but you will
invariably need to P/Invoke it. Check your NDIS driver
DLLs to see if any methods are exposed for this purpose.
