Hi,

I have created a Oracle Virtual Box Virtual Machine and was able to successfully boot it automatically using Virutal Box sdk using C++. I wish to attach a Network adapter and connect it to a Bridged Network during the automated create process. I am not able to find any working example of attaching network adapter to VM using the virtual box sdk (c++). Any help regarding the same would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Finally, i found it for my self:

C#

INetworkAdapter *adpt = NULL;
    rc = iMachine->GetNetworkAdapter(0, &adpt);
    rc = adpt->put_Enabled(TRUE);
    rc = adpt->put_AttachmentType(NetworkAttachmentType_HostOnly);
    rc = iMachine->SaveSettings();

This adds Host_only Network Adapter to the Guest Machine in Virtual Box.
