IWCNDevice::SetNetworkProfile method (wcndevice.h)

  • Article

The IWCNDevice::SetNetworkProfile method queues an XML WLAN profile to be provisioned to the device. This method may only be called prior to IWCNDevice::Connect.

Syntax

HRESULT SetNetworkProfile(
  [in] LPCWSTR pszProfileXml
);

Parameters

[in] pszProfileXml

The XML WLAN profile XML string.

Return value

This method can return one of these values.

Return code Description
S_OK
 The attribute was retrieved successfully.
HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED)
 The WLAN profile is not supported for WCN connections.
HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_BAD_PROFILE)
 The provided XML profile cannot be read.

Remarks

Currently, the Windows Connect Now API (WCNAPI) supports the following profile types:

  • None (Open or Shared)
  • WEP (Open or Shared)
  • WPA-PSK (TKIP or AES)
  • WPA2-PSK (TKIP or AES)
If the specified WLAN profile has extraneous settings (like IHV settings), these settings will be ignored. In the event a WLAN profile is not compatible with the WCNAPI, an HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED) value is returned.
