Examples

The following code example demonstrates sending an ICMP echo request asynchronously.

C#

using System;
using System.Text;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.NetworkInformation;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Threading;

namespace Examples.System.Net.NetworkInformation.PingTest
{
    public class PingExample
    {
        public static void Main (string[] args)
        {
            if (args.Length == 0)
                throw new ArgumentException ("Ping needs a host or IP Address.");

            string who = args[0];
            AutoResetEvent waiter = new AutoResetEvent (false);

            Ping pingSender = new Ping ();

            // When the PingCompleted event is raised,
            // the PingCompletedCallback method is called.
            pingSender.PingCompleted += new PingCompletedEventHandler (PingCompletedCallback);

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

            // Wait 12 seconds for a reply.
            int timeout = 12000;

            // Set options for transmission:
            // The data can go through 64 gateways or routers
            // before it is destroyed, and the data packet
            // cannot be fragmented.

            // Send the ping asynchronously.
            // Use the waiter as the user token.
            // When the callback completes, it can wake up this thread.
            pingSender.SendAsync(who, timeout, buffer, options, waiter);

            // Prevent this example application from ending.
            // A real application should do something useful
            // when possible.

                // UserToken is the AutoResetEvent object that the main thread
                // is waiting for.

Remarks

Instances of this class are passed to a PingCompletedEventHandler method that is called when a SendAsync call completes. The SendAsync methods send an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request asynchronously and wait for a corresponding ICMP echo reply message. The Reply property contains the results of the ICMP echo request.

Properties

Cancelled	Gets a value indicating whether an asynchronous operation has been canceled. (Inherited from AsyncCompletedEventArgs)
Error	Gets a value indicating which error occurred during an asynchronous operation. (Inherited from AsyncCompletedEventArgs)
Reply	Gets an object that contains data that describes an attempt to send an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request message and receive a corresponding ICMP echo reply message.
UserState	Gets the unique identifier for the asynchronous task. (Inherited from AsyncCompletedEventArgs)

Methods

Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
RaiseExceptionIfNecessary()	Raises a user-supplied exception if an asynchronous operation failed. (Inherited from AsyncCompletedEventArgs)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
