Hi!

I'd like to detect my connection quality. Note, that I'd like to avoid
"ping" solution.

In the Offline block I find very promising code in
WinINetDetectionStrategy.IsConnected
public bool IsConnected()

{

int connectionDescription = 0;

return InternetGetConnectedState(out connectionDescription, 0);

}

connectionDescription is supposed to contain actually what I need - level of
connection quality. I defined the constants:

public const int MinimumPollingIntervalInSeconds = 1;

//Local system uses a modem to connect to the Internet.

public const int INTERNET_CONNECTION_MODEM = 0x1;

//Local system uses a LAN to connect to the Internet.

public const int INTERNET_CONNECTION_LAN = 0x2;

//Local system uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet.

public const int INTERNET_CONNECTION_PROXY = 0x4;

//No longer used.

public const int INTERNET_CONNECTION_MODEM_BUSY = 0x8;

public const int INTERNET_RAS_INSTALLED = 0x10;

public const int INTERNET_CONNECTION_OFFLINE = 0x20;

So here are questions:

1. Can I rely on this value?

2. What would be the best way to implement this in Offline Block?

I'm thinking of extending IConnectionDetectionStrategy or even creating new
interface - something like IConnectionQuality

Thanks,

Dima.
