另一种选择是网络列表管理器API，它适用于Vista和Windows 7。MSDN文章在这里。在本文中有一个下载代码示例的链接，允许您这样做:

AppNetworkListUser nlmUser = new AppNetworkListUser();
Console.WriteLine("Is the machine connected to internet? " + nlmUser.NLM.IsConnectedToInternet.ToString());

请确保从COM选项卡中添加对网络列表1.0类型库的引用…它将显示为NETWORKLIST。

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);         
}

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

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");
        }
    }
}

我个人觉得Anton和moffeltje的答案最好，但我增加了一个检查，排除VMWare和其他公司设置的虚拟网络。

public static bool IsAvailableNetworkActive()
{
    // only recognizes changes related to Internet adapters
    if (!System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface.GetIsNetworkAvailable()) return false;

    // however, this will include all adapters -- filter by opstatus and activity
    NetworkInterface[] interfaces = System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
    return (from face in interfaces
            where face.OperationalStatus == OperationalStatus.Up
            where (face.NetworkInterfaceType != NetworkInterfaceType.Tunnel) && (face.NetworkInterfaceType != NetworkInterfaceType.Loopback)
            where (!(face.Name.ToLower().Contains("virtual") || face.Description.ToLower().Contains("virtual")))
            select face.GetIPv4Statistics()).Any(statistics => (statistics.BytesReceived > 0) && (statistics.BytesSent > 0));
}
