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

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

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
