Network Connected and Disconnected Events in a Forms Application

James_M_Intel1 · ‎07-05-2006

We've had a few people ask for sample code demonstrating the use of the Intel Mobile Platfrom SDK (See: http://www.intel.com/software/products/mobileplatform) within a Windows Forms application. Note that the SDK comes with extensive sample code but it is limited to console application. For those who would like a forms app that runs on .Net v1.1 see the attached zip file. The source code shows a simple forms application that receive the connected and disconnected events and updates the GUI each time this happens.

Thanks,
Lester Memmott
