In Windows Phone 8.1, Is it possible to read mac address of device.
I want to build a app which search the all available network and connect to the preconfigured(in app) network.
and also turn on the WiFi using C#
The Windows Phone OS does not give access to programmatically join networks, this has to be an action initiated by the end user, it is possible however to enumerate the current network connections whic does allow some information about the adaptor, but apparently not the physical (MAC) address...

Emulator is turning off my ethernet connection

I am learning windows phone programming, when I run emulator it turns off ethernet connection on my laptop, but wifi still works.
How to fix it?
May be it is Hyper-V trouble?
Ethernet controller: RealTek PCIe GBE
Easiest way is just removing the Emulator customization of the network connections and then allowing it to restore them!
On the host computer, open the Hyper-V Manager
Click Action -> Virtual Switch Manager
Remove the 3 Virtual Switches that show up on the list
After this step the internet connection show have been restored; the next time you open the Emulator it will then allow you to re-add those virtual switches back.
Attention: Please be aware that you may have more entries if Hyper-V is actually used by another app than the Windows Phone Emulator!

Windows phone 8 emulator not showing maps

I am trying to create a windows phone 8 application but the emulator does not show me the map. all I get is this.
as you can see no land mass is show and no roads are shown. I have panned around and come across nothing and the emulator location is set to an area where land should show.
If I run it on my device it works fine and the map loads.
Could this be due to a port blocking issue or something silly like that.
Cheers

The approved answer might not be 100% correct. Check out the following blog post, and you will notice, that your emulator probably doesn't have an access to the internet.
http://michalstawarz.pl/2013/01/26/windows-phone-8-emulator-maps-display/
Windows Phone emulator supports Bing Map for sure.
It seems the Problem may be due to
Network Connectivity Issues with Host PC
Proxy Issues
Other Issues
Workaround for the above Issues.
If you see blank blue map screen as in http://michalstawarz.pl/2013/01/26/windows-phone-8-emulator-maps-display/ as Michael referred.
Then its good to go. Problem is Internet connectivity / proxy not configured.
If its is Network Connectivity, then troubleshoot your system network adapter. Problem may be due to limited network connectivity / PC not connected to internet.
If it is proxy then,
Get IP Address of "Internal Ethernet Port Windows Phone Emulator
Internal Switch" using IPCONFIG in CMD prompt
Then Enter it under Exception List in IE's LAN Settings >> Advanced >> Exception
Other Issues may be due to Not Configured / improper IP configuration when adapter's IP setting changed manually.
If it is the case -- then Remove all virtual adapters using Virtual Switch Manager Menu in Hyper-V Manager and RUN Emulator with ADMIN Privileges.
Maps are not supported on the Windows Phone 8 emulator.
Maps are now supported, and the original question is no longer valid.
If the answers from Micheal and Prakash doesn't solve your problem.Then try this-
Open regedit in the C:\Windows folder.
In Registry Editor open
for 64 bit Windows-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\MAIN
\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION and then create XDETools.exe with hex value 2328.
for 64 bit Windows-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\MAIN
\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION and then create XDETools.exe with hex value 2328.
