Parameters

remoteHost

Hostname or dot address of the host to ping.

TTL

The maximum amount of hops to take.

sequenceNumber

An identification number.

localHost

Hostname or dot address of the local host.

data

Additional data to send with the ping.

state

User state information.

Return Type

An IAsyncResult that represents the asynchronous ping operation, which could still be pending.

Exceptions

Remarks

This method pings the host specified by remoteHost with the settings specified by remoteHost, TTL, sequenceNumber, localHost, and data. Upon completion the EndSend event is raised. An EchoResult object is made accessible in the event, describing the ping operation. Check the properties of the EchoResult for data about the Ping operation. For example, ResponseTime returns the amount of time for the response to be received.

Requirements

Platforms: Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 2000, Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional, Windows Server 2003 family
