    <p>How do you determine or examine the connection profile of the current network connection (if any)?</p> <p>Specifically, I need to determine if the current connection is to a private or public network, and from there determine whether network discovery is turned on or off.</p> <p>It seems like this information is readily available in a Windows Store app via the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.networking.connectivity.networkinformation.getconnectionprofiles.aspx" rel="nofollow">Windows.Networking.Connectivity.NetworkInformation.GetConnectionProfiles()</a> or <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.networking.connectivity.networkinformation.getinternetconnectionprofile.aspx" rel="nofollow">NetworkInformation.GetInternetConnectionProfile()</a> functions, <strong>but this is a standard desktop app</strong> that must run on Win 7 and Server 2008 as well as Win 8 and Server 2012.</p> <p><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.networkinformation.networkinterface.getallnetworkinterfaces.aspx" rel="nofollow">Enumerating the NICs</a> on a machine is not a problem, but this doesn't solve my issue - I need to get the properties of the <em>connection</em>, not the <em>physical device</em>. </p> <p>Is there an inbuilt way to do this with the .Net framework? Alternatively can it be done with WMI? Or as a crude alternative, can it be done by invoking the <code>netsh</code> command (although this seems to depend on the <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc727725%28v=ws.10%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">dot3svc</a> and/or <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730957.aspx" rel="nofollow">wlansvc</a> services to be running)?</p>

    2. CO@JunWeiLee Thanks, it doesn't directly help. That is a code snippet that users the [Managed Wifi API](http://managedwifi.codeplex.com/) which wraps the [Native Wifi API](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms705969.aspx).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
