opennetcf.net iswireless

[markrdavies]

Hi,
I've just installed the opennetcf references and used the networking
functions to find my wireless adpater and show me the signal strength.
This all worked fine on my device. I've now received my customers
device, a different model, but same o/s and version, the only
difference is the build number. The adapter command finds the name and
type 'ethernet' ok, but the iswireless() function is not working.
I working in vb.

Any ideas ?

Just to add, the customers device is a symbol mc50

Then the adapter is not managed by Windows CE as a "wireless adapter".
Nothing to be done about that; there's no foolproof way to absolutely tell
what sort of adapter a given device is. I just do the best I can. If
IsWireless is FALSE, you can't get the signal strength, etc., so it might as
well not be a wireless adapter. If Symbol has an SDK for getting signal
strength on this other device build, you can plug that into the OpenNETCF
code for that special case.

Thanks Paul,
I've now found the Symbol SDK which has its own signal strength command
