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。

bool bb = System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface.GetIsNetworkAvailable();

if (bb == true)
    MessageBox.Show("Internet connections are available");
else
    MessageBox.Show("Internet connections are 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

根据@ChaosPandion的回答，为了尽可能确保结果是正确的，你可以像其他人指出的那样，包括多个大网站。但是，这应该异步完成，以避免太长的等待时间。此外，WebRequest、HttpWebRequest和HttpWebResponse类现在已经过时，应该被HttpClient取代。以下示例考虑了上述因素:

public static async Task<bool> CheckForInternetConnection(TimeSpan? timeoutMs = null, List<string> urls = null)
{
    if (timeoutMs == null)
    {
        timeoutMs = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10);
    }

    var culture = CultureInfo.InstalledUICulture;
    if (urls == null)
    {
        urls = new List<string>();

        if (culture.Name.StartsWith("fa"))      // Iran
            urls.Add("http://www.aparat.com");
        else if (culture.Name.StartsWith("zh")) // China
            urls.Add("http://www.baidu.com");
        else
        {
            urls.Add("https://www.apple.com/");
            urls.Add("https://www.gstatic.com/generate_204");
        }
    }

    var client = new HttpClient();
    client.Timeout = (TimeSpan)timeoutMs;
    List<Task<string>> tasks = new List<Task<string>>();
    int unresponsiveUrlCount = 0;

    foreach (var url in urls)
    {   
        tasks.Add(client.GetStringAsync(url));             
    }

    Task aggregationTask = null;
    try
    {
        aggregationTask = Task.WhenAll(tasks);
        await aggregationTask;
    }
    catch (Exception)
    {  
        if (aggregationTask?.Exception?.InnerExceptions != null && aggregationTask.Exception.InnerExceptions.Any())
        {
            foreach (var innerEx in aggregationTask.Exception.InnerExceptions)
            {
                unresponsiveUrlCount++;
            }
        }      
    }

    return unresponsiveUrlCount < urls.Count;
}

该方法检查列表中的所有url，如果它们都不可访问，则返回false。我已经添加了苹果的url，因为在我的情况下，它加载相当快，但它可以替换为任何url。

以下是它在Android中的实现方式。

作为概念的证明，我将这段代码翻译成c#:

var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://g.cn/generate_204");
request.UserAgent = "Android";
request.KeepAlive = false;
request.Timeout = 1500;

using (var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
{
    if (response.ContentLength == 0 && response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.NoContent)
    {
        //Connection to internet available
    }
    else
    {
        //Connection to internet not available
    }
}

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");
        }
    }
}
