Detecting Internet Connection

[Adam Tibi]

Is there any way to detect Dial-up Internet connection using .NET libraries
or do I have to use Win APIs for that?

There is currently no managed way to do that available in the Framework.

Hi Adam

Check with this api

'API method to check for the internet connectio
Public Declare Function InternetCheckConnection Lib "wininet.dll" Alias "InternetCheckConnectionA" (ByVal lpszUrl As String, ByVal dwFlags As Integer, ByVal dwReserved As Integer) As Intege
Public Const FLAG_ICC_FORCE_CONNECTION As Short = &H1

Where it takes the URL you want to check

if lpszUrl is null and the flag is false can this be used to see if there
is any connection at all ??


Excuse for butting in!
