Accessing IP Settings from C# .Net application

[venkatyv]

Hi,

I am working with OMAP3530 platform and Windows CE 6.0. Which has working
wired network adaptor and i am writing device application in C# .Net.

Can any one tell me the way to access (read and update with new one) network
settings like IP Address, Net Mask, Default Gateway, DNS Server,,etc of the
ethernet adaptor from C# application.

Thanks in advance,
Venkat

You really want to post managed code questions for Windows CE devices to
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework in the future.

Look at the OpenNETCF Smart Device Framework. Visit www.opennetcf.com.

It's all part of the IPHelper dll, which is easy to use from C++, but
hasn't yet been supported by .NETCF.

I'd suggest:

- follow Paul's advice and look at Smart Device Framework (of which I
have no personal experience);

- write a C++ wrapper to P/Invoke the IPHelper stuff (been there,
wouldn't want to do it again!);

- write your application in C++ - there are some situations where it is
much easier to use C++, and in my personal opinion anything which needs
to access adapters etc and change addresses is one of them.

All three should work, it's up to you which way you choose to go.

Hope this helps.
