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();
    }
