Adding perferred networks to wireless network

[ICTECH]

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone point me in the right direction or have any ideas how I can create a app that will add perferred networks to wireless networks in windows XP & possible win 7?? I have over 100 laptops that require a new wireless profile to be created.. I really don't want to have to manually do this.. HELP.. Please...

Thanks...

I think you'll need to use the Windows Native Wifi Functions API. Here's a link to the MSDN reference for this API:

Unfortunately that reference is geared toward C/C++ developers. You can make this work in .NET however, using p/invoke (Platform Invoke). Here's a link about how to use APIs in .NET:

Thanks for your reply.. Do you know of any samples?? I was looking at the Wifi API and wasn't finding any examples of how to query for the perferred networks..

Go to the first link, and on the left pane click Native Wifi, right above the Native Wifi Reference link. On the right, click Using Native Wifi, and there are samples in there.
