以编程方式断开网络连接

Question

Is there a way to programmatically and temporarily disconnect network connectivity in .NET 4.0?

I know I can get the current network connectivity status by doing this...

System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface.GetIsNetworkAvailable()

but for testing purposes I would like test my application's behavior when it loses network connectivity (without physically unplugging the network cable).

Thanks, Chris.

You could do it with WMI. Here's one we use for disabling the physical adapter to test these types of scenarios.

using System.Management;
using System.Linq;

namespace DisableNIC
{
    internal static class Program
    {
        private static void Main()
        {
            var wmiQuery = new SelectQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_NetworkAdapter " +
                                            "WHERE NetConnectionId != null " +
                                              "AND Manufacturer != 'Microsoft' ");
            using (var searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(wmiQuery))
            {
                foreach (var item in searcher.Get().OfType<ManagementObject>())
                {
                    if ((string) item["NetConnectionId"] != "Local Area Connection")
                        continue;

                    using (item)
                    {
                        item.InvokeMethod("Disable", null);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

You didn't indicate the OS, but this works in Windows 7 and Windows 8.

Note that you will need to be an administrator for this to function.

if you use 'Managed Wifi API' you can simply delete the profile. That worked for me.

WlanClient client = new WlanClient();

WlanClient.WlanInterface m_WlanInterface = client.Interfaces.Where(i => i.InterfaceDescription.Contains(InterfaceIdentifierString)).First();
m_WlanInterface.DeleteProfile(ConnectionProfileString);

If you need to reconnect to that network, be sure to save the xml profile:

string xmlString = m_WlanInterface.GetProfileXml(ConnectionProfileString)

Then you can reuse it

 m_WlanInterface.SetProfile(Wlan.WlanProfileFlags.AllUser, xmlString, true);
 m_WlanInterface.Connect(Wlan.WlanConnectionMode.Profile, Wlan.Dot11BssType.Any, ConnectionProfileString);
