Remarks

These methods do not cause your application's main thread to block. If you want to block while waiting for the ICMP echo reply message, use the Send methods.

Note

The IP address returned by any of the SendAsync methods can originate from a malicious remote computer. Do not connect to the remote computer using this. Use DNS to determine the IP address of the machine to which you want to connect.

Remarks

The SendAsync method sends the Echo message asynchronously and, when the operation completes (successfully or unsuccessfully), returns the status to your application. Call the SendAsync method when your application must not block. Each call executes in a separate thread that is automatically allocated from the thread pool. When the asynchronous operation completes, it raises the PingCompleted event. Applications use a PingCompletedEventHandler delegate to specify the method that is called when SendAsync raises the event. You must add a PingCompletedEventHandler delegate to the event before calling SendAsync. The delegate's method receives a PingCompletedEventArgs object that contains a PingReply object that describes the result of the SendAsync call. The PingCompletedEventArgs object inherits the UserState property. This property contains the userToken object passed into the SendAsync call.

If your application should block while waiting for a reply, use the Send methods; these methods are synchronous.

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.

Call the SendAsync method when your application should not block. Each call executes in a separate thread that is automatically allocated from the thread pool. When the asynchronous operation completes, it raises the PingCompleted event. Applications use a PingCompletedEventHandler delegate to specify the method that is called when SendAsync raises the event.

If your application should block while waiting for a reply, use the Send methods; these methods are synchronous.

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.

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 SendAsync 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 (if fragmented) can be forwarded by routing nodes 128 times before being discarded. To change this setting, use a SendAsync 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.

 void SendAsync(System::Net::IPAddress ^ address, int timeout, System::Object ^ userToken);

public void SendAsync (System.Net.IPAddress address, int timeout, object? userToken);

public void SendAsync (System.Net.IPAddress address, int timeout, object userToken);

member this.SendAsync : System.Net.IPAddress * int * obj -> unit

Public Sub SendAsync (address As IPAddress, timeout As Integer, userToken As Object)

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.

userToken: Object

An object that is passed to the method invoked when the asynchronous operation completes.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

address is null.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

timeout is less than zero.

InvalidOperationException

A call to SendAsync(IPAddress, Int32, Byte[], Object) method is in progress.

PingException

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

SocketException

address is not a valid IP address.

ObjectDisposedException

This object has been disposed.

Examples

For a code example that demonstrates calling a SendAsync overload, see the Ping class overview.

Remarks

The SendAsync method sends the Echo message asynchronously and, when the operation completes (successfully or unsuccessfully), returns the status to your application. Call the SendAsync method when your application should not block. Each call executes in a separate thread that is automatically allocated from the thread pool. When the asynchronous operation completes, it raises the PingCompleted event. Applications use a PingCompletedEventHandler delegate to specify the method that is called when SendAsync raises the event. You must add a PingCompletedEventHandler delegate to the event before calling SendAsync. The delegate's method receives a PingCompletedEventArgs object that contains a PingReply object that describes the result of the SendAsync call. The PingCompletedEventArgs object inherits the UserState property. This property contains the userToken object passed into the SendAsync call.

If your application should block while waiting for a reply, use the Send methods; these methods are synchronous.

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.

Public Sub SendAsync (hostNameOrAddress As String, userToken As Object)

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.

userToken: Object

An object that is passed to the method invoked when the asynchronous operation completes.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

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

InvalidOperationException

A call to SendAsync(String, Object) method is in progress.

PingException

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

SocketException

hostNameOrAddress could not be resolved to a valid IP address.

Remarks

The SendAsync method sends the echo message asynchronously and, when the operation completes (successfully or unsuccessfully), returns the status to your application. Call the SendAsync method when your application should not block. Each call to this method executes in a separate thread that is automatically allocated from the thread pool. When the asynchronous operation completes, it raises the PingCompleted event. To specify the method that is called when SendAsync raises the event, you must add a PingCompletedEventHandler delegate to the event before calling SendAsync. The delegate's method receives a PingCompletedEventArgs object that contains a PingReply object that describes the result of the SendAsync call. The PingCompletedEventArgs object inherits the UserState property. This property contains the userToken object passed into the SendAsync call.

Note

If your application should block while waiting for a reply, use the Send methods; these methods are synchronous.

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.

The packet or packet fragments can be forwarded by routing nodes 128 times before being discarded. To change this setting, use a SendAsync 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.
