Network Device Information

[Guest]

Is there any way to retrieve the network interface information in .NET CF1?
As per NetworkInformation in .NET 2?

I am writing an application that when using the wireless interface should
avoid trying to send a bulk of data, but if the ethernet connection (from the
cradle) becomes available, it should then transfer the information.

I'm assuming the connection event to the cradle is recognisable as when I
put the device on the cradle an FTP server starts up, but is not available
when on wireless.

Just to add a little information as to what I am trying to achieve.

Basically, we have an application that will make requests back and forth
over the wireless connection. The devices will be able to take pictures, but
I don't want to send these over the wireless connection.

What I want to do is detect when the device is cradled, and I therefore have
a faster connection available. At that point I can then transfer the images
from the device.

The main problem is detecting the cradle. This has come up in the last
couple of days (might have been yesterday). You can search the archives of
this newsgroup via:

My feeling is that checking for the IP address that indicates that the
ActiveSync connection is active is probably the best way (there's no
absolutely perfect way).
