Windows Phone SDK Network

Question

I am getting used to the Windows Phone SDK in Visual Studio.

Right now I am writing a simple web browser so that I can build off of it in the future in C#.

What I am having an issue with is - if the phone doesn't have any signal:

• I don't want the application to redirect to the generic could not find the website that you are looking for.
• I would like it to redirect to a new page that I have control over.

So my basic question is this - is there a way to detect whether the phone has a connection to the network - or better yet if the phone redirects to a new website?

I need that because I could potentially catch the error and display something like you aren't connected to a network please try again once you have connected.

Answer 1

Yes you can find whether your phone is connected with network or not in windows phone try this add a name space using Microsoft.Phone.Net.NetworkInformation;

if (DeviceNetworkInformation.IsNetworkAvailable)
{
MessageBox.Show("Network");
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("No Network");
}
