Network Map with full detail and hierarchy

I wrote a piece of code to run from the first IP address to the last and retrieve the MAC and Hostname of devices in my network.
But, i do not know how to get the hierachy of then. Information like what router is the device conected (via Cable of WiFi also). And some routers are not managed (they don't have IP - they are just "switchs").
First, i didn't think it was possible, since a "tracert" on the CMD does not show then, but when i call the "Network Complete Map" on Windows Control Panel, they get all the information i need - so there is a way. See the image below:
The "switchs" circled in red have no IP, the "TL-xxxx" are routers with DHCP turned of. The "gateway" is a server that has the DHCP and provides connection to the internet.
Thus far, i wrote the following code:

How do i make that code able to get the hierarchy like windows does?

Huge List<T> processing and Pdf generate

I have a pdf file as Byte[] and I'm using iTextSharp to modify the file and embed a specific details in it.
in the List I have min. 25K objects, and I need to generate 25K pdf files.
I'm using Parallel.ForEach but it takes 16.40 mins to be done in Total.
I used ToLookUp method like this:
var valuesToLookupWith = Recipients.ToLookup(item => item.ID);
List<int> Ids = Recipients.Select(item => item.ID).ToList();
Partitioner<int> partitioner = Partitioner.Create(Ids, EnumerablePartitionerOptions.NoBuffering);
Parallel.ForEach(partitioner, new ParallelOptions { MaxDegreeOfParallelism = 6 } ,(id) =>
{
var item = valuesToLookupWith[id].ToList().FirstOrDefault();
item.Attachment = AttachmentEngine.GeneratePdfFromPdfFile((fileAsByteArray,id, "www.xyz.ca"));
...
});
and I used ForEach and also it takes approx. > 25 minutes.
foreach (int id in Ids)
{
var item = valuesToLookupWith[id].ToList().FirstOrDefault();
item.Attachment = AttachmentEngine.GeneratePdfFromPdfFile(fileAsByteArray,id, "www.xyz.ca");
...
}
any suggested way to speedup the process please?
FYI I'm not writing anything on the disk, all is done in memory as Byte[] and then I'm writing the values back to the Db.
and also all the time spent - mentioned in the question is only the time spent for Parallel.ForEach / ForEach statements.
Db calls is not an issue for me at all, I'm making only two calls to the Db , one when I load list of recipients from it and another call when writing values back to the Db

Xamarin View Not Refreshing

I am having some problems with my Xamarin XAML page and its viewmodel.
I have written the code with a bunch of methods which are executed via commands from the XAML.
Functionally its all working as desired. However, the view is not refreshing when the methods have finished executing. So despite inserting things and removing things from my observable collections (via an API call update), and having a notifypropertychanged event, the page doesn't reload.
Any ideas?

Bind Long List Selector to result of POST method

When I run the application I get Out Of Range Exception
Getting data isn't the problem. The problem is the time it takes to get data from server to bind it to the Long List Selector. So, how can I delay the binding tell I get the data from the server and fill the Lists with them ?

In your Home():
myLLS.ItemsSource = DataList;
is good. You are telling your LLS to watch this data source and update itself whenever a new item is inserted.
for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
{
DataList.Add(new TestData(LstLikeNum[i], LstCommentNum[i], LstBrandName ...);
}
is not good. You are trying to populate your data source before the data arrived. This is the operation that belongs in your request's callback. You're getting an out of range exception because LstLikeNum has 0 items, and you're trying to get items 0 -> 9.
Instead, do this:
void webclient_UploadStringCompleted(object sender, UploadStringCompletedEventArgs e) {
...
int i = 0;
foreach (JObject o in a.Children<JObject>())
{
foreach (JProperty p in o.Properties())
{
...
}
var testData = new TestData(LstLikeNum[i], LstCommentNum[i], ...);
DataList.Add(testData);
i++;
}
}
Note that you don't need to bind (myLLS.ItemsSource = DataList) in the callback. That's something you only do once -- the callback is only adding items to the source.

Binding to New Member Display; BuildComboList

I am trying to build a combo list for a program to fill the combobox with a list of applications. it keeps throwing up "Cannot bind to the new display member. Parameter name: newDisplayMember"
private void BuildComboList()
{
Applicant defaultApplicant = new Applicant();
applicationList = defaultApplicant.GetList();
applicantList.DataSource = applicationList;
applicantList.DisplayMember = "DisplayName";
applicantList.ValueMember = "DisplayValue";
}
Applicant Class
public class Applicant
{
//Members
private int applicant_ID;
private string applicant_fname;
private string applicant_lname;
private string applicant_phone;
private string applicant_address1;
private string applicant_address2;
private string applicant_city;
private string applicant_state;
private string applicant_zip;
private string applicant_email;
//properties
public int Applicant_ID
{
get { return applicant_ID; }
set { applicant_ID = value; }
}
public string Applicant_fname
{
get { return applicant_fname; }
set { applicant_fname = value; }
}
public string Applicant_lname
{
get { return applicant_lname; }
set { applicant_lname = value; }
}
public string Applicant_phone
{
get { return applicant_phone; }
set { applicant_phone = value; }
}
public string Applicant_address1

public string Applicant_address2

//Constructors

record.applicant_address1 = applicant_address1;
record.applicant_address2 = applicant_address2;

}

Approval_Form.ApplicantRecord.ApplicantDL.Update(applicant_ID, applicant_fname, applicant_lname, applicant_phone, applicant_address1, applicant_address2, applicant_city, applicant_state, applicant_zip, applicant_email);
}
}
}

I think it should be:
private void BuildComboList()
{
Applicant defaultApplicant = new Applicant();
applicationList = defaultApplicant.GetList();
applicantList.DataSource = applicationList;
applicantList.DisplayMember = "Applicant_fname";
applicantList.ValueMember = "Applicant_ID";
}
You can change the applicant class further as follows:
Add two properties.
public string DisplayName
{
get { return (applicant_fname + " " + applicant_lname; }
}
public string DisplayValue
{
get { return (applicant_ID.ToString(); }
}
Keep data binding as:
private void BuildComboList()
{
Applicant defaultApplicant = new Applicant();
applicationList = defaultApplicant.GetList();
applicantList.DataSource = applicationList;
applicantList.DisplayMember = "DisplayName";
applicantList.ValueMember = "DisplayValue";
}
