How to use using Windows.Networking.Connectivity?

Question

Hi all,

Using VS 2015 with Win 10. I have found some interesting code that I may be able to use in my project. It includes the line:

using Windows.Networking.Connectivity;

However, when I attempt to type it into my source, Intellisence does not find "Windows". I thought I might be missing a reference, so I proceeded to do this. I did not find Windows.Networking.Connectivity in the references list, so I went to the Browse option. There I did find the corresponding entry, but when I select it and then proceed to add it, it gives me an error:

I am not sure what I am missing here. Do I need to install a separate component? Thanks! Saga

Answer 1

hi! This is for use in UWP apps.

Answer 2

Thanks. OK, understood, bummer.

I am trying to get a list of available WiFi networks and am finding it rather difficult. The titular namespace has the ability to do this, but mine is a Windows Forms App. I am going to start another thread with this more specific question. Thanks for your input. Saga
