How can I 'ping' a MySQL Server hosted by AZURE

I have been using an AWS Virtual machine to host my MySQL Server, but would like to move to the AZURE ecosystem.
My .net applications ping the server as part of a connectivity check.

[My.Computer.Network.Ping]

I can't do this with my AZURE MySQL Server so I need another method.
What do you suggest?

Many thanks in advance

    @Benjamin Stevens Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum, Thanks for posting your question.

    You can use TcpClient in .NET to connect to port 3306 and check if it is open or not. This method is often referred to as "tcpping" and is very similar to the original Ping.

    Regards
