Is there an easy way to tell if you are in range of the WLan, and thus
connected? I would like to know this before I try to send information over
the network.

Thanks

I've posted in the eVC++ newsgroup how to use NDISUIO to query the signal
strength for one or more RF Ethernet cards. It's pretty close to impossible
from managed code, but you could write a DLL to do it and just return a
value to managed code that it could use.

You could try to connect to a reliable web site like yahoo.com or some other
known server to see if you are connected.
 
Steven,
If you have HP devices there is an API for the WIFI adapter status
codes.
