[vb.NeT] ping server

[Spelly]

Hi ! I need to include a ping feature into my project to ping a few computers 1 by 1 on a LAN in every 1 minutes to know which computer is up or down so that i can show it up on a listview for other processes.

How do I do it in vb.Net?

is there any class that i can re-use?

thanks

Ok, this is a VB6 class, but you should be able to run the .net conversion on it.

Simply call the function ServerAvailable (you will need tp change the function to accept a system name passed in, or hard code it, nbd)

ServerAvailable returns a True/False. Now its important to note that the Ping Service can be turned off on a system, so you would not get a response.

Hope this helps

by the way is there anyway to convert it to vb.net or make it as a dll so i can just import it in my project?

I tried to use the conversion but it has errors.

thanks

I know you need VB.NET code, but you could take a look at this code. It's written in C#, but you could add a C# Class Library project to your solution with this class in it and then reference it from your VB app. You could also just convert it to VB.NET.
