接受的答案很快就成功了，但当没有连接时，失败的速度非常慢。所以我想建立一个健壮的连接检查，它会更快地失败。

据说不是所有环境都支持ping，所以我从接受的答案开始，并从这里添加了一个带有自定义超时的WebClient。你可以选择任何超时，但3秒对我来说是通过wifi连接的。我尝试添加一个快速迭代(1秒)，如果第一个迭代失败，则添加一个缓慢迭代(3秒)。但是这没有意义，因为这两个迭代总是失败(当没有连接时)或总是成功(当连接时)。

我正在连接AWS，因为我想在连接测试通过时上传一个文件。

public static class AwsHelpers
{
    public static bool GetCanConnectToAws()
    {
        try
        {
            using (var client = new WebClientWithShortTimeout())
            using (client.OpenRead("https://aws.amazon.com"))
                return true;
        }
        catch
        {
            return false;
        }
    }
}

public class WebClientWithShortTimeout: WebClient
{
    protected override WebRequest GetWebRequest(Uri uri)
    {
        var webRequest = base.GetWebRequest(uri);
        webRequest.Timeout = 5000;
        return webRequest;
    }
}

NetworkInterface。GetIsNetworkAvailable非常不可靠。只是有一些VMware或其他局域网连接，它将返回错误的结果。 还有Dns。我只是关心测试URL是否可能在我的应用程序部署的环境中被阻止。

我发现的另一种方法是使用InternetGetConnectedState方法。 我的代码是

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("wininet.dll")]
private extern static bool InternetGetConnectedState(out int Description, int ReservedValue);

public static bool CheckNet()
{
     int desc;
     return InternetGetConnectedState(out desc, 0);         
}

多线程版本的ping:

  using System;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  using System.Diagnostics;
  using System.Net.NetworkInformation;
  using System.Threading;


  namespace OnlineCheck
  {
      class Program
      {

          static bool isOnline = false;

          static void Main(string[] args)
          {
              List<string> ipList = new List<string> {
                  "1.1.1.1", // Bad ip
                  "2.2.2.2",
                  "4.2.2.2",
                  "8.8.8.8",
                  "9.9.9.9",
                  "208.67.222.222",
                  "139.130.4.5"
                  };

              int timeOut = 1000 * 5; // Seconds


              List<Thread> threadList = new List<Thread>();

              foreach (string ip in ipList)
              {

                  Thread threadTest = new Thread(() => IsOnline(ip));
                  threadList.Add(threadTest);
                  threadTest.Start();
              }

              Stopwatch stopwatch = Stopwatch.StartNew();

              while (!isOnline && stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds <= timeOut)
              {
                   Thread.Sleep(10); // Cooldown the CPU
              }

              foreach (Thread thread in threadList)
              { 
                  thread.Abort(); // We love threads, don't we?
              }


              Console.WriteLine("Am I online: " + isOnline.ToYesNo());
              Console.ReadKey();
          }

          static bool Ping(string host, int timeout = 3000, int buffer = 32)
          {
              bool result = false;

              try
              {
                  Ping ping = new Ping();                
                  byte[] byteBuffer = new byte[buffer];                
                  PingOptions options = new PingOptions();
                  PingReply reply = ping.Send(host, timeout, byteBuffer, options);
                  result = (reply.Status == IPStatus.Success);
              }
              catch (Exception ex)
              {

              }

              return result;
          }

          static void IsOnline(string host)
          {
              isOnline =  Ping(host) || isOnline;
          }
      }

      public static class BooleanExtensions
      {
          public static string ToYesNo(this bool value)
          {
              return value ? "Yes" : "No";
          }
      }
  }

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。
