no overload error

Hi,

I'm completely stuck with some example code I'm trying to use. The code
is from
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.networkinformation.ping.aspx

I would have thought to create a new 'PingExample' object the correct
syntax would be,

PingExample ping = new PingExample("simon.heber.ltd");

as the class is expecting a string as an argument.

I get the following error though:

No overload for method 'PingExample' takes '1' arguments

Thanks for any help,

Simon Porter

The PingExample class does not declare any constructor so it has only a
default one, PingExample() w/o parameters.
Thats why compiler is saying there is no overloaded constructor that accepts
1 parameter.

Still, the PingExample has only static (class level) methods so you don't
need to create any instance.
Just call the method main as "PingExample.Main(new string[] {
"simon.heber.ltd" });"
