The following code example demonstrates how to use this property. This example is part of a larger example available in How to: Implement Offline Support for Out-of-Browser Applications.

Private Sub App_InstallStateChanged(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles app.InstallStateChanged

    UpdateUI()

End Sub

Private Sub UpdateUI()

    UpdateNetworkIndicator()

    installButton.Visibility = If(
        app.InstallState = InstallState.NotInstalled,
        Visibility.Visible, Visibility.Collapsed)

    updateButton.Visibility = If(app.IsRunningOutOfBrowser,
        Visibility.Visible, Visibility.Collapsed)

    isRunningOutOfBrowserTextBlock.Text = _
        app.IsRunningOutOfBrowser.ToString()

    installStateTextBlock.Text = app.InstallState.ToString()

End Sub

Private Sub UpdateNetworkIndicator()

    If app.IsRunningOutOfBrowser Then
        networkIndicator.Visibility = Visibility.Visible
    Else
        networkIndicator.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed
    End If



    Dim online As Boolean = NetworkInterface.GetIsNetworkAvailable()


    If online Then
        networkIndicator.Text = "ONLINE" 

        updateButton.Visibility = Visibility.Visible
    Else
        networkIndicator.Text = "OFFLINE"
        updateButton.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed
    End If

End Sub
private void UpdateUI()
{
    UpdateNetworkIndicator();

    installButton.Visibility =
        app.InstallState == InstallState.NotInstalled ?
        Visibility.Visible : Visibility.Collapsed;

    updateButton.Visibility =
        app.IsRunningOutOfBrowser ? 
        Visibility.Visible : Visibility.Collapsed;

    isRunningOutOfBrowserTextBlock.Text = 
        app.IsRunningOutOfBrowser.ToString();

    installStateTextBlock.Text = app.InstallState.ToString();
}

private void UpdateNetworkIndicator()
{
    networkIndicator.Visibility =
        app.IsRunningOutOfBrowser ?
        Visibility.Visible : Visibility.Collapsed;

    bool online = NetworkInterface.GetIsNetworkAvailable();

    networkIndicator.Text = online ?
        "ONLINE" : "OFFLINE";

    updateButton.Visibility = online ?
        Visibility.Visible : Visibility.Collapsed;
}
