Internet connection info application using .NET

I want to create an application which shows me Internet usage since connected and disconnect automatically internet after some given MB of data usage and also display live uploading and downloading speed. This app would be similar to any USB modem software used in dongle (netsetter). How can I do it in .NET or is it easy in C programming. I want some examples of this type of program.

hello

you can try it

Uri URL = new Uri("http://sixhoej.net/speedtest/1024kb.txt");

WebClient wc = new WebClient();

double starttime = Environment.TickCount;

// download file from the specified URL, and save it to C:\speedtest.txt

wc.DownloadFile(URL, @"C:\speedtest.txt");

// get current tickcount

double endtime = Environment.TickCount;

// how many seconds did it take?

// we are calculating this by subtracting starttime from endtime

// and dividing by 1000 (since the tickcount is in miliseconds.. 1000 ms = 1 sec)

double secs = Math.Floor(endtime - starttime) / 1000;

// round the number of secs and remove the decimal point

double secs2 = Math.Round(secs, 0);

// calculate download rate in kb per sec.

// this is done by dividing 1024 by the number of seconds it

// took to download the file (1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte)

double kbsec = Math.Round(1024 / secs);

Label1.Text = "Download rate: " + kbsec + " kb/sec";

try

{

// delete downloaded file

System.IO.File.Delete(@"C:\speedtest.txt");

Console.WriteLine("Done.");

}

catch

{

Console.WriteLine("Couldn't delete download file.");

Console.WriteLine("To delete the file yourself, go to your C-drive and look for the file 'speedtest.txt'.");

Console.ReadKey();

}
