Do You mean ip address?

Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live.

I just remembered seeing this Tip posted recently: Find IP address in a Metro app (Windows 8)[^].
I know that from the title it does not seem to be what you are looking for, but read through the comments and see if it can help you get what you need. I don't have Windows 8 running, so I cannot test it out.

I don't think that is a valid URL; where are you sending it to?

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Its working on all browsers except the webview. On webpages that required authendication but dont have login form the browser pops up a window where you put the username and password (dont know the name of that login method), with that url u log automaticaly.

Sorry, I have not used that one. You will need to look at the COM error to see why it fails.

Hi,

The Windows Runtime will automatically use a GPS if it finds one.

I went into detail with this in a screencast.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I am not able to get bytes sent and received using NetworkInformation.GetInternetConnectionProfile(); since this function is returning Null.

Mobile Broadband dongle is being used to connect to internet. Connection calls using MB APIs are successful.

Code that fails is shown in the snippet below:

using Windows.Networking.Connectivity;
.
.
.
.
ConnectionProfile connectionprofile = NetworkInformation.GetInternetConnectionProfile();
if (connectionprofile != null)
{
    DataUsage localusage = connectionprofile.GetLocalUsage(startime, currtime);
    string message = "\n Connection details: bytes received:" + localusage.BytesReceived + " bytes sent:" + localusage.BytesSent + "\n";
}

Windows 8, Get list of drives

Hi guys... I'm just starting with Windows 8/Metro... I'm trying to figure out how to get a list of drives on the machine. The MSDN says Environment.GetLogicalDrives should work or System.IO.Directory.GetLogicalDrives but I can't seem to find either. I assume the framework for Metro apps is limited similar to how Silverlight is a subset of the .Net libraries... Anyone have any idea how to do this?

You cannot enumerate drives using the WinRT APIs. You only have access to isolated storage or you can use the open/save file dialogs to allow the user to browse for a file/folder.
