Internet connection present?

ultradiv

I have a partly produced VB.NET app that needs to 'know' when the client
machine has an interent connection so that it can connect to a remote
webservice.
Any ideas?

Thanks
Andy

Ultradiv,

Yes set it in a try and catch block if it does not connect than there is no
connection to that webservice.

In VB2005 you can use My.Computer.Network.IsAvailable, but as the docs
say that only tells you if "a computer is connected to *a* network". In
the long run, with proxies and network topologies and firewalls and so
on, the only sure way to tell if you can connect to a remote webservice
is to Try is and see. I mean, Try it and Catch.
