        {
            netshline = null;
            while ((netshline = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
            {
                int BSSIDNumber = 0;
                BSSIDNumber = Convert.ToInt32(netshline.IndexOf("BSSID" + 6));
                string result1 = netshline.Substring(netshline.IndexOf(":") + 1);
                return result1;

Hi Change the return type from string[] to string public string GetAccessPointMacAddresses() { netshline = null; string result1=; while ((netshline = sr.ReadLine()) != null) { int BSSIDNumber = 0; BSSIDNumber = Convert.ToInt32(netshline.IndexOf(BSSID + 6)); result1 = netshline.Substring(netshline.IndexOf(:) + 1); } return result1; } Regards Iftikar

try this code : public string[] GetAccessPointMacAddresses() { List myCollection = new List (); netshline = null; while ((netshline = sr.ReadLine()) != null) { int BSSIDNumber = 0; BSSIDNumber = Convert.ToInt32(netshline.IndexOf(BSSID + 6)); string result1 = netshline.Substring(netshline.IndexOf(:) + 1); myCollection.Add(result1); } return myCollection.ToArray(); }
