public:
 bool Ping(Uri ^ address, int timeout);
public bool Ping (Uri address, int timeout);
member this.Ping : Uri * int -> bool
Public Function Ping (address As Uri, timeout As Integer) As Boolean

Examples

This example reports whether or not the server can be pinged by determining whether the Ping method returns True.

If My.Computer.Network.Ping("198.01.01.01") Then
   MsgBox("Server pinged successfully.")
Else
   MsgBox("Ping request timed out.")
End If

Replace "198.01.01.01" with the IP address, URL, or computer name of the server to ping.

This example reports whether or not the server can be pinged by determining whether the Ping method returned True and specifies a timeout interval of 1000 milliseconds.

If My.Computer.Network.Ping("www.cohowinery.com",1000) Then
   MsgBox("Server pinged successfully.")
Else
   MsgBox("Ping request timed out.")
End If

Replace "www.cohowinery.com" with the IP address, URL, or computer name of the server to ping.

Remarks

The Ping method is not a fail-safe method for determining the availability of a remote computer: the ping port on the target computer may be turned off or the ping request may be blocked by a firewall or router.

The address passed to the Ping method must be DNS resolvable and cannot be preceded by "http://".
