Notes:
This method just tells the interface to start doing a scan. If you want to get results as they come back, you have to register a callback function. An easier way is to call this method, wait a while, then use WlanGetAvailableNetworkList

Please add some!
Sample Code:
C#
Guid g;
//wlanHndl is the handle returned previously by calling [WlanOpenHandle]
for (int i = 0; i < infoList.dwNumberOfItems; i++)
{
g = infoList.InterfaceInfo[i].InterfaceGuid;
uint resultCode = WlanScan(wlanHndl, ref g, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero);
if (resultCode != 0)
return;
}
