Greg's answer in this question helped me.
Any way to turn the "internet off" in windows using c#?

Is there any library in .NET that would allow me to manipulate the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security in Windows 7?
The reason I ask this is because, I want to be able to add program/port exceptions programmatically.
For example, I want to add program.exe to the Inbound Rules section and for this program, I want to allow TCP port 5660 and UDP port 5660. All other ports should be blocked for this program alone;
I reasoned that this could be comfortably set in the Inbound Rules Section in Windows Firewall with Advanced Security; I hope this is the best way of doing it?
However, how would I accomplish that programmatically?
I have already seen an example here, but I think this one talks about "Allow a program through Windows Firewall snap-in", which does not have the port information.
