Parameters

remoteHost

Hostname or dot address of the host to ping.

state

User state information.

Return Type

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

Exceptions

Remarks

This method asynchronously pings the host specified by remoteHost with default settings (TTL = 128, data = 32 occurrences of "&"). 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.
