More Visual Basic Help

[mgarland]

I am making a little tool to make telephone support easier at the school.

I am looking to put a little button in that does the wireless connection repair wizard. Does anyone know if this is possible?

I have had a good google and I have not found anything useful yet.

Thanks in advance.

Oh I am using Visual Studio 2008 Express

Couldn't you call the command line:

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

achieves the same thing, doesn't it?

[mgarland]

No I want something that disables the wireless card then enables it.

I already have all the ipconfig commands to tag onto the end of it.

Have you tried DevCon? It's a command line device manager, you should be able to just put it in the folder with your exe and call it from your code

The DevCon command-line utility functions as an alternative to Device Manager

[mgarland]

I have just had a look at the devcon thing and that seems really good.

It will need to work on any wireless card in any machine... Do you happen to know how I can achieve that?

Thanks

[LosOjos]

You're going to struggle to achieve that without manually setting up parameters on each machine, but the follwing will restart all network devices on the local machine:

devcon restart =Net *

[mgarland]

That works just great

Thank you for your help. My little utility is going into BETA :P
