Hi,
My name is Daniel, I am a software engineering student.
This library is an outcome of me learning P/Invoke in C#.
A while ago I had a project for which I had to change my laptop into a Wireless Access Point. As there were no existing apps to do such a thing on Windows 8 (there were few for Windows 7, but didn't work), I started researching how to write my own software access point. Soon I found the whole windows native wireless API ( Microsoft documentation ). As I am not a big fan of C++, I decided I will learn P/Invoke, wrap the native API and write my own software access point from there. Well this is the library.
This library will let you start virtual software access point. However it will not let you share your internet connection. To do that, you have to start ICS Server (Internet Connection Sharing). I didn't provide libraries for that as there already is one ( ICS on MSDN docs ).
An example tethering app you could create (very simple) I uploaded as a separate project:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/softwareaccessp/
I hope you will find this useful, any constructive criticism is welcome.
Daniel
