Do you really want to write it for yourself?
Since there are lots of free tools outside, able to tell you this. See Sysinternals TCPview[^] for example, or the built-in windows tool NETSTAT[^].

But it is really not complicated at all, check out this article:

[Update]
Here is the vb.net version of it:

VB

Imports System
Imports System.Net
Imports System.Net.NetworkInformation

Module Program
	Sub Main()
		Dim ipProperties As IPGlobalProperties = IPGlobalProperties.GetIPGlobalProperties()

			Dim endPoints As IPEndPoint() = ipProperties.GetActiveTcpListeners()
			Dim tcpConnections As TcpConnectionInformation() = ipProperties.GetActiveTcpConnections()

			For Each info As TcpConnectionInformation In tcpConnections
				Console.WriteLine("Local : " & info.LocalEndPoint.Address.ToString() & ":" & info.LocalEndPoint.Port.ToString() & vbLf & "Remote : " & info.RemoteEndPoint.Address.ToString() & ":" & info.RemoteEndPoint.Port.ToString() & vbLf & "State : " & info.State.ToString() & vbLf & vbLf)
			Next
			Console.ReadLine()
	End Sub
End Module

Yes, i want to write because this is a part of my program.
really the code which you supported dosnt work. at the moment my compter is connected to home group via wireless and also a device is connected to my computer via ethernet port. my computer ip for wireless is 192.168.1.7 and for ethernet is 10.0.0.100
the connecterd devices to wireless: another computers: 192.168.1.2 to 6

is netstat showing you what you want?

Zoltán Zörgő 29-Dec-12 12:19pm

As I see, your question is wrong. What you want is not the list of devices connected to your computer, you want to list the devices connected to your networks. That is something else.
A device is connected to your computer if there is any socket opened between the remote device and your machine, that is what you can list this way, and that is what you asked for.

Really you are right, iam looking for the devices which are connected to my networks. sorry. how can i solve it?

Zoltán Zörgő 29-Dec-12 15:36pm

Well, that's only a little bit more difficult. You have two possibilities:
1) If your router is capable of such reports, you can ask it.
2) If you have the address range, and that is low (as I see, you have two ranges with less than 255 addresses), you can try to ping all addresses one by one supposing that the devices are responding to icmp packets. Use: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.networkinformation.ping.aspx
2+) Here you have a little bit more delicate "nmap" like application, with c# source, you can get ideas: https://github.com/Simran/nmap-csharp
