Free Download: PIVO PING COMPONENT 1.01

Pivo.Ping allows you to effortless enable your applications to send Internet Control Message Protocol (Ping/ICMP) packets in .NET. Programmatically ping a remote server, host, route, or any network device to see if it is up. Pivo.Ping fully supports RFC 792 standard.
Pivo.Ping is a server component. It requires the Microsoft .NET runtime in order to function properly. Pivo.Ping is used to programmatically ping hosts on a network.
A 'Ping' is a technique for sending an ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) packet(s) to a remote host. If the remote host is up, and supports ICMP, a control message, or packet, will be sent back to the sender. This technique provides a mechanism for feedback about communication problems in a networked environment. Pivo.Ping abstracts this mechanism in an easy to use manner for the programmer. For more information about ICMP, check out the RFC 792 at http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc792.html.
Pivo.Ping can only be used programmatically from a .NET environment, including, but not limited to, ASP.NET, winforms, console applications, and web services. Here are two brief examples for using Pivo.Ping from C# and Visual Basic. The following example pings www.pivo.com. [C#] Private void Page_Load (object sender, System.EventArgs e) { if ( Page.IsPostBack ) { Pivo.Ping.Icmp icmp = new Pivo.Ping.Icmp("www.pivo.com"); for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) { Console.WriteLine(icmp.Ping().TotalMilliseconds); } } }.
Pivo.Ping is a low overhead, highly optimized assembly that needs the Microsoft .NET (or equivalent) framework to run. Any system that can support the Microsoft.NET framework will be able to use Pivo.Ping. Pivo.Ping can be used from any environment supported by .NET, which can include winforms, ASP.NET, console applications, components, or web services.
