this is VB.Net

Dim objectQuery As New ObjectQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_NetworkAdapter WHERE NetConnectionId IS NOT NULL")
         Dim searcher As New ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, objectQuery)
         Dim os As ManagementObject
         Dim moColl As ManagementObjectCollection = searcher.Get()
         Dim _list As String = ""
         For Each os In moColl
             Console.WriteLine(os("NetConnectionId"))
         Next os

That will get all the interfaces on you computer. Then you can do netsh to disable it.

netsh interface set interface DISABLED
