on Windows 7 I can enable and disable connections via the Network Connections Manager panel (in system settings).
How can I do this programmatically in C#? Thanks
Go to the AndroidManifest. xml file and add two user-permissions: ACCESS_WIFI_STATE and CHANGE_WIFI_STATE. Below is the code for the AndroidManifest.
For your find Information, unless you have a rooted phone I don't think you can enable and disable data programmatically because in order to do so we have to include MODIFY_PHONE_STATE permission which is only given to system or signature apps. setMobileDataEnabled() method is no longer callable via reflection.
First and foremost, add permissions in your manifest file. These 4 permissions are required to make changes in your device network connectivity. Setup configuration to connect one specific wifi using WifiConfiguration. WifiConfiguration config = new WifiConfiguration();
You can achieve this in C# by leveraging WMI and the Win32_NetworkAdapter WMI class. The Win32_NetworkAdapter class has Enable and Disable methods which can be executed on a selected network interface.
An example of usage can be found here:

Briefly, steps to do this are:
Generate a wrapper for the class from VS command prompt
mgmtclassgen Win32_NetworkAdapter /L CS -p NetworkAdapter.cs
Stepping through the adapters:
SelectQuery query = new SelectQuery("Win32_NetworkAdapter", "NetConnectionStatus=2"); ManagementObjectSearcher search = new ManagementObjectSearcher(query); foreach(ManagementObject result in search.Get()) { NetworkAdapter adapter = new NetworkAdapter(result); // Identify the adapter you wish to disable here. // In particular, check the AdapterType and // Description properties. // Here, we're selecting the LAN adapters. if (adapter.AdapterType.Contains("Ethernet 802.3")) { adapter.Disable(); } }
