Hi,

I am stuck at a place.. is their any way that I can get list of all the available internet connections on the users system...?

In simple words: I need list of all available ISP(available on his system) to show the user to connect one.

E.g.: User has two ISP connections installed
1. "AOL" and
2. "AT&T Internet Services"
Now user will select any one connection i have to connect to that selected ISP.

-With Regards,
AJ

I assume you're looking for the list of network interfaces. It is possible through System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface class, specifically the GetAllNetworkInterfaces() method. Here is the sample code

C#

public static void DisplayDnsConfiguration()
{
    NetworkInterface[] adapters = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
    foreach (NetworkInterface adapter in adapters)
    {
        IPInterfaceProperties properties = adapter.GetIPProperties();
        Console.WriteLine(adapter.Description);
        Console.WriteLine("  DNS suffix .............................. : {0}",
            properties.DnsSuffix);
        Console.WriteLine("  DNS enabled ............................. : {0}",
            properties.IsDnsEnabled);
        Console.WriteLine("  Dynamically configured DNS .............. : {0}",
            properties.IsDynamicDnsEnabled);
    }
    Console.WriteLine();
}
