Property Value

Type: System.Boolean

Wi-Fi must have a radio connection and be correctly configured.

The following example demonstrates getting the value of the IsWiFiEnabled property and displaying it in a message box. In this example, you put the code in a button click event for testing purposes only. In your own applications, you can access the IsWiFiEnabled property wherever you need it.

This example assumes that you have a Windows Phone application with a button named button1. This example also assumes that you have added the following statement to your code window.

using Microsoft.Phone.Net.NetworkInformation;
private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder();

    sb.Append("Network available:  ");
    sb.AppendLine(DeviceNetworkInformation.IsNetworkAvailable.ToString());

    sb.Append("Cellular enabled:  ");
    sb.AppendLine(DeviceNetworkInformation.IsCellularDataEnabled.ToString());

    sb.Append("Roaming enabled:  ");
    sb.AppendLine(DeviceNetworkInformation.IsCellularDataRoamingEnabled.ToString());

    sb.Append("Wi-Fi enabled:  ");
    sb.AppendLine(DeviceNetworkInformation.IsWiFiEnabled.ToString());

    MessageBox.Show(sb.ToString());
}
