I am having problems using the code

If m_currentAdapter Is NetworkInformation.WirelessZeroConfigNetworkInterface Then

-----

End If

The compiler says WirelessZeroConfigNetworkInterface is a type and cannot be used as an expression. However, all of the c# code I have seen uses this construct.

I have been able to use DirectCast to cast m_currentAdapter as a WirelessZeroConfigNetworkInterface. However, if it is not a WirelessZeroConfigNetworkInterface but a NetworkInterface or a WirelessNetworkInterface then an exception is thrown, so I have a series of try catch blocks setup to determine if it is one of three interface types. Not what I would like. Any suggestions?

Second, I can determine the currently connected access point and get all information - name, signal, etc. However, when I ask for nearby accesspoints I get nothing. Is this normal? I would have thought the one I can determine would be included in nearby enumeration. The same for preferred access points - nothing is returned.

Third, how do I determine if the interface is DHCP enabled?

 First, the equivant to the C# 'is" operator in VB is TypeOf.

Second, yes the list of Nearby access points should have items in it if there are APs in range.

DHCP status is found like this:

myInterface.GetIPProperties().GetIPv4Proerpties().IsDhcpEnabled
