如果你想在网络/连接发生变化时通知用户/采取行动。 使用NLM API:

使用NetworkMonitor监控网络状态和internet连接。

示例:

namespace AmRoNetworkMonitor.Demo
{
    using System;

    internal class Program
    {
        private static void Main()
        {
            NetworkMonitor.StateChanged += NetworkMonitor_StateChanged;
            NetworkMonitor.StartMonitor();

            Console.WriteLine("Press any key to stop monitoring.");
            Console.ReadKey();
            NetworkMonitor.StopMonitor();

            Console.WriteLine("Press any key to close program.");
            Console.ReadKey();
        }

        private static void NetworkMonitor_StateChanged(object sender, StateChangeEventArgs e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(e.IsAvailable ? "Is Available" : "Is Not Available");
        }
    }
}

而不是检查，只需执行操作(web请求，邮件，ftp等)，并为请求失败做好准备，即使检查成功，您也必须这样做。

考虑以下几点:

1 - check, and it is OK
2 - start to perform action 
3 - network goes down
4 - action fails
5 - lot of good your check did

如果网络坏了，你的动作就会像ping一样迅速失败。

1 - start to perform action
2 - if the net is down(or goes down) the action will fail

对于我的应用程序，我们也通过下载小文件进行测试。

string remoteUri = "https://www.microsoft.com/favicon.ico"

WebClient myWebClient = new WebClient();

try
{
    byte[] myDataBuffer = myWebClient.DownloadData (remoteUri);
    if(myDataBuffer.length > 0) // Or add more validate. eg. checksum
    {
        return true;
    }
}
catch
{
    return false;
}

也。有些ISP可能使用中间服务器缓存文件。添加未使用的随机参数。https://www.microsoft.com/favicon.ico?req=random_number 可以防止缓存。

public static bool Isconnected = false;

public static bool CheckForInternetConnection()
{
    try
    {
        Ping myPing = new Ping();
        String host = "google.com";
        byte[] buffer = new byte[32];
        int timeout = 1000;
        PingOptions pingOptions = new PingOptions();
        PingReply reply = myPing.Send(host, timeout, buffer, pingOptions);
        if (reply.Status == IPStatus.Success)
        {
            return true;
        }
        else if (reply.Status == IPStatus.TimedOut)
        {
            return Isconnected;
        }
        else
        {
            return false;
        }
    }
    catch (Exception)
    {
        return false;
    }
}

public static void CheckConnection()
{
    if (CheckForInternetConnection())
    {
        Isconnected = true;
    }
    else
    {
        Isconnected = false;
    }
}

public static bool HasConnection()
{
    try
    {
        System.Net.IPHostEntry i = System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry("www.google.com");
        return true;
    }
    catch
    {
        return false;
    }
}
