NetworkInterface.GetIsNetworkAvailable Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Indicates whether any network connection is available.

Namespace:  System.Net.NetworkInformation
Assembly:  System.Net (in System.Net.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute> _
Public Shared Function GetIsNetworkAvailable As Boolean
[SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute]
public static bool GetIsNetworkAvailable()

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if a network connection is available; otherwise, false.

Remarks

A network connection is considered to be available if any network interface is marked "up" and is not a loopback or tunnel interface.

There are many cases in which a device or computer is not connected to a useful network but is still considered available and GetIsNetworkAvailable will return true. For example, if the device running the application is connected to a wireless network that requires a proxy, but the proxy is not set, GetIsNetworkAvailable will return true. Another example of when GetIsNetworkAvailable will return true is if the application is running on a computer that is connected to a hub or router where the hub or router has lost the upstream connection.

Examples

The following example uses the GetIsNetworkAvailable method to determine if a network connection is available.

Public class Example

    Dim Shared online As Boolean = False

    Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
        ' Initialize the online variable and set a NetworkChange handler
        SetupNetworkChange()

        outputBlock.Text &= "Network is: "
        If online Then
            outputBlock.Text &= "online"
        Else   
            outputBlock.Text &= "offline"
        End If    

        ' Now start the main work of the application        
    End Sub

    ' Subroutine that gets called when the network changes 
    Private Shared Sub OnNetworkChange (ByVal sender As object, _
       ByVale AS EventArgs)

       If NetworkInterface.GetIsNetworkAvailable() Then
           If Not online Then
              online = True
              ' do what is needed to GoOnline()
