Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to call this method.

void ComplexPing()
{
   Ping ^ pingSender = gcnew Ping;
   
   // Create a buffer of 32 bytes of data to be transmitted.
   String^ data = "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa";
   array<Byte>^buffer = Encoding::ASCII->GetBytes( data );
   
   // Wait 10 seconds for a reply.
   int timeout = 10000;
   
   // Set options for transmission:
   // The data can go through 64 gateways or routers
   // before it is destroyed, and the data packet
   // cannot be fragmented.
   PingOptions ^ options = gcnew PingOptions( 64,true );
   
   // Send the request.
   PingReply ^ reply = pingSender->Send( "www.contoso.com", timeout, buffer, options );
   if ( reply->Status == IPStatus::Success )
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "Address: {0}", reply->Address->ToString() );
      Console::WriteLine( "RoundTrip time: {0}", reply->RoundtripTime );
      Console::WriteLine( "Time to live: {0}", reply->Options->Ttl );
      Console::WriteLine( "Don't fragment: {0}", reply->Options->DontFragment );
      Console::WriteLine( "Buffer size: {0}", reply->Buffer->Length );
   }
   else
   {
      Console::WriteLine( reply->Status );
   }
}
public static void ComplexPing ()
{
    Ping pingSender = new Ping ();

    // Create a buffer of 32 bytes of data to be transmitted.
    string data = "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa";
    byte[] buffer = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes (data);

    // Wait 10 seconds for a reply.
    int timeout = 10000;

    // Set options for transmission:
    // The data can go through 64 gateways or routers
    // before it is destroyed, and the data packet
    // cannot be fragmented.
    PingOptions options = new PingOptions (64, true);

    // Send the request.
    PingReply reply = pingSender.Send ("www.contoso.com", timeout, buffer, options);

    if (reply.Status == IPStatus.Success)
    {
        Console.WriteLine ("Address: {0}", reply.Address.ToString ());
        Console.WriteLine ("RoundTrip time: {0}", reply.RoundtripTime);

    }
    else
    {
        Console.WriteLine (reply.Status);
    }
}

Remarks

If the ICMP echo reply message is not received within the time specified by the timeout parameter, the ICMP echo fails, and the Status property is set to TimedOut.

Note

When specifying very small numbers for timeout, the Ping reply can be received even if timeout milliseconds have elapsed.

If the DontFragment property is true and the total packet size exceeds the maximum packet size that can be transmitted by one of the routing nodes between the local and remote computers, the ICMP echo request fails. When this happens, the Status is set to PacketTooBig.

Use the Ttl property to specify the maximum number of times the ICMP echo message can be forwarded before reaching its destination. If the packet does not reach its destination after being forwarded the specified number of times, the packet is discarded and the ICMP echo request fails. When this happens, the Status is set to TtlExpired.

Remarks

If the ICMP echo reply message is not received within the time specified in the timeout parameter, the ICMP echo fails, and the Status property is set to TimedOut.

Note

When specifying very small numbers for timeout, the Ping reply can be received even if timeout milliseconds have elapsed.

This overload uses default settings for packet fragmentation and packet forwarding. The packet that contains the ICMP echo message can be fragmented in transit if the total packet size exceeds the maximum packet size that can be transmitted by one of the routing nodes between the local and remote computers. To prevent fragmentation, use one of the Send methods that takes an options parameter, and set the DontFragment property to true. When DontFragment is true and the total packet size exceeds the maximum packet size that can be transmitted by one of the routing nodes between the local and remote computers, the ICMP echo request fails. When this happens, the Status is set to PacketTooBig.

The packet or packet fragments can be forwarded by routing nodes 128 times before being discarded. To change this setting, use a Send overload that takes an options parameter, and set the Ttl property to the desired value. If the packet does not reach its destination after being forwarded the specified number of times, the packet is discarded and the ICMP echo request fails. When this happens, the Status is set to TtlExpired.

Send(IPAddress, Int32)

Source:
Ping.cs
Source:
Ping.cs
Source:
Ping.cs

Attempts to send an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo message with the specified data buffer to the computer that has the specified IPAddress, and receive a corresponding ICMP echo reply message from that computer. This method allows you to specify a time-out value for the operation.

public:
 System::Net::NetworkInformation::PingReply ^ Send(System::Net::IPAddress ^ address, int timeout);
public System.Net.NetworkInformation.PingReply Send (System.Net.IPAddress address, int timeout);
member this.Send : System.Net.IPAddress * int -> System.Net.NetworkInformation.PingReply
Public Function Send (address As IPAddress, timeout As Integer) As PingReply

Parameters

address
IPAddress

An IPAddress that identifies the computer that is the destination for the ICMP echo message.

timeout
Int32

An Int32 value that specifies the maximum number of milliseconds (after sending the echo message) to wait for the ICMP echo reply message.

Returns

A PingReply object that provides information about the ICMP echo reply message if one was received, or provides the reason for the failure if no message was received.

Exceptions

address is null.

timeout is less than zero.

A call to SendAsync is in progress.

An exception was thrown while sending or receiving the ICMP messages. See the inner exception for the exact exception that was thrown.

This object has been disposed.

Examples

For an example that demonstrates calling a Send method, see the Ping class overview.

Remarks

If the ICMP echo reply message is not received within the time specified in the timeout parameter, the ICMP echo fails, and the Status property is set to TimedOut.

Note

When specifying very small numbers for timeout, the Ping reply can be received even if timeout milliseconds have elapsed.

This overload uses default settings for packet fragmentation and packet forwarding. The packet that contains the ICMP echo message can be fragmented in transit if the total packet size exceeds the maximum packet size that can be transmitted by one of the routing nodes between the local and remote computers. To prevent fragmentation, use one of the Send methods that takes an options parameter, and set the DontFragment property to true. When DontFragment is true and the total packet size exceeds the maximum packet size that can be transmitted by one of the routing nodes between the local and remote computers, the ICMP echo request fails. When this happens, the Status is set to PacketTooBig.

The packet or packet fragments can be forwarded by routing nodes 128 times before being discarded. To change this setting, use a Send overload that takes an options parameter, and set the Ttl property to the desired value. If the packet does not reach its destination after being forwarded the specified number of times, the packet is discarded and the ICMP echo request fails. When this happens, the Status is set to TtlExpired.

Attempts to send an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo message to the specified computer, and receive a corresponding ICMP echo reply message from that computer.

public:
 System::Net::NetworkInformation::PingReply ^ Send(System::String ^ hostNameOrAddress);
public System.Net.NetworkInformation.PingReply Send (string hostNameOrAddress);
member this.Send : string -> System.Net.NetworkInformation.PingReply
Public Function Send (hostNameOrAddress As String) As PingReply

Parameters

hostNameOrAddress
String

A String that identifies the computer that is the destination for the ICMP echo message. The value specified for this parameter can be a host name or a string representation of an IP address.

Returns

A PingReply object that provides information about the ICMP echo reply message, if one was received, or provides the reason for the failure, if no message was received.

Exceptions

hostNameOrAddress is null or is an empty string ("").

A call to SendAsync is in progress.

An exception was thrown while sending or receiving the ICMP messages. See the inner exception for the exact exception that was thrown.

{
   Ping ^ pingSender = gcnew Ping;
   PingReply ^ reply = pingSender->Send( "www.contoso.com" );
   if ( reply->Status == IPStatus::Success )

      Console::WriteLine( "Don't fragment: {0}", reply->Options->DontFragment );
      Console::WriteLine( "Buffer size: {0}", reply->Buffer->Length );
   }

    if (reply.Status == IPStatus.Success)
    {
        Console.WriteLine ("Address: {0}", reply.Address.ToString ());
        Console.WriteLine ("RoundTrip time: {0}", reply.RoundtripTime);
        Console.WriteLine ("Time to live: {0}", reply.Options.Ttl);
        Console.WriteLine ("Don't fragment: {0}", reply.Options.DontFragment);
        Console.WriteLine ("Buffer size: {0}", reply.Buffer.Length);
    }
    else
    {
        Console.WriteLine (reply.Status);
    }
}

Remarks

This method sends a 32 Byte data buffer with the ICMP echo message. The method waits five seconds for an ICMP echo reply message. If it does not receive a reply in that time, the method returns and the Status property is set to TimedOut.

This overload uses default settings for packet fragmentation and packet forwarding. The packet that contains the ICMP echo message can be fragmented in transit if the total packet size exceeds the maximum packet size that can be transmitted by one of the routing nodes between the local and remote computers.

When DontFragment is true and the total packet size exceeds the maximum packet size that can be transmitted by one of the routing nodes between the local and remote computers, the ICMP echo request fails. When this happens, the Status is set to PacketTooBig. The packet or packet fragments (if fragmented) can be forwarded by routing nodes 128 times before being discarded. To change this setting, use a Send overload that takes an options parameter, and set the Ttl property to the desired value. If the packet does not reach its destination after being forwarded the specified number of times, the packet is discarded and the ICMP echo request fails.
