I am working on an ASP.NET (VB.NET) application which will discover devices connected on network. Is there a way through which i can discover IOS devices (iphone, ipad, ipod) and android devices (phones, tablets) connected to my network?
Please assist.
Thanks.

Most iOS devices support bonjour service discovery (same as Avahi or ZeroConf). You can discover nodes in the local network that will answer to your requests (by default most iDevices).
I guess wikipedia is a good starting point http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_configuration_networking#Service_discovery.
I'm not sure how it can be done in .NET but you can try http://www.mono-project.com/Mono.Zeroconf.
