Hi Ricardo,
if you want to use a webrequest and response to test the internet
connection you could do something like the following, you know that you are
not connected because you will not be alble to resolve the web url and an
exception will be thrown:

bool blnConnected = false;

//choose a site you can count on be up most of the time
HttpWebRequest wr =
(HttpWebRequest )WebRequest.Cre ate("http://www.google.com" );

try
{
//try to get response from the website
HttpWebResponse wresp = (HttpWebRespons e)wr.GetRespons e();

if(wresp.Status Code == HttpStatusCode. OK)
{
blnConnected = true;
}
}
catch(System.Ne t.WebException exc)
{
//this will happen if you cannot connect to the site
blnConnected = false;
}
finally
{
wresp.Close();

if(blnConnected )
{
//do connected action
}
else
{
//do unconnected action
}
}
