How can I turn on/off WiFi programatically on WP7

I would like to know if there is any possibility to turn wifi on and off programatically. My idea is to have a background task looking for geocoordinates and toggle the wifi settings wether the phone is in the range of a former saved location or not.

Yet everything I saw were apps which get the state of the wifi and quick jump to the wifi settings. I would like to implement a more automated app which helps saving battery power.

You can show the dialog like this.

ConnectionSettingsTask connectionSettingsTask = new ConnectionSettingsTask();
connectionSettingsTask.ConnectionSettingsType = ConnectionSettingsType.WiFi; 
connectionSettingsTask.Show();

Sorry, you can't programmatically turn on or off the wifi. The best you can do is displaying the WIFI settings page and let the user take care of it.
