always use WIFI in Windows Mobile 6.5 C#

Question

How can I force my Windows Mobile 6.5 app to always use the phone WIFI adapter, even when the phone is docked to a PC over USB.

Is this possible to do in code? I've tried to use the Connection Manager API but I cannot figure out how to select a specific network adapter.

Edit: This is the code I try to use (found it somewhere on the web) but in Connect() I cannot figure out how to add specific adapter, only if it should connect to internet or work network.

I am not sure but I assume you can handle this using provisioning and specifying the Desktop-Passthru-Connection (ActiveSync/WMDC), also called DTPT, as unsecure and the WiFi/LAN connection as secure ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa455851.aspx ). That should work, as the connMgr first uses the 'secure' connection. STOP: I just read the note on the linked site: "Note Setting the value of Secure to false is not supported for Desktop Passthrough (DTPT) connections. DTPT was designed to work as a secure connection.". So this approach is no option for DTPT.

Another approach would be to specify the DTPT connection as a 'Work' connection, wheras (I assume) your connection request is for an 'Internet' connection. Example provisioning: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms890844.aspx . There is also a connection setting in ActiveSync/WMDC to specify the 'target' for DTPT: Automatic/Internet/Work. Did you try to set it to work?

Possibly you can also simply remove the DTPT connection for connection manager usage: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa456184.aspx .

To use wap provisioning you need the DMProcessConfigXML API: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee497867%28v=winembedded.60%29.aspx . A .net example is here: How do I use DMProcessConfigXML to provision my Windows Mobile device?

To provide more help I would need a RapiConfig dump of your connection setup of the device.
