Is there a way to programmatically turn OFF WiFi in C#

Question

But in such a way that there is absolutely NO TRANSMISSION out of it? No searching for hotspots nor any keepalives or any other transmission?

Thank you very much, Yaron.

You can check the How to use the connection settings task for Windows Phone 8. You can use the

var navigate = Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri("ms-settings-location:"));

which will navigate you to the settings page where you can turn off and on the wifi settings.

You can't change them programmatically, but you can ask a user to change them and redirect a user to the Settings page (for this purpose use ConnectionSettingsTask http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/hh394011(v=vs.105).aspx).

This is because the platform leaves these kinds of settings in the user's control at all times.

ConnectionSettingsTask connectionSettingsTask = new ConnectionSettingsTask();
connectionSettingsTask.ConnectionSettingsType = ConnectionSettingsType.WiFi;
connectionSettingsTask.Show();

The closest you can get is to programmatically launch the WiFi settings page where the user can modify the setting:

await Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri("ms-settings-wifi:"));

In Windows 10 you can use this API

There is a sample of its usage published by Microsoft here
