How to get the name of WiFi connection in WP7

Question

I have been looking into the DeviceNetworkInformation class, and I have successfully used the following

•CellularMobileOperator •IsNetworkAvailable •IsCellularDataEnabled •IsCellularDataRoamingEnabled •IsWiFiEnabled

but I was wondering if there was a wayt o get the name of the WiFi connection, in addition to whether WiFi is enabled or not. I would like to be able to see the current name of the connection within my application. I have not seen where this was implemented, so is this actually possible? If so, how might I access such a property?

Here comes the code snippet:

/// <summary>
/// Find WIFI SSID
/// </summary>
private void FindWIFISSIDClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    foreach (var network in new NetworkInterfaceList())
    {
        if ( (network.InterfaceType == NetworkInterfaceType.Wireless80211) &&  (network.InterfaceState == ConnectState.Connected) )
            mLocatoinInfo.Text = network.InterfaceName; //Get the SSID of the WIFI
        else
            mLocatoinInfo.Text = "fail";
    }
}

You should take a look at this wrapper project with managed code in C# at Managed Wifi API.

Question, would this work with Windows Phone 7, or possibly 8? – Matthew Oct 24 '12 at 17:09
