PingCompletedEventArgs Class

Provides data for the PingCompleted event.

System.Object
  System.EventArgs
    System.ComponentModel.AsyncCompletedEventArgs
      System.Net.NetworkInformation.PingCompletedEventArgs

Namespace:  System.Net.NetworkInformation
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)
public class PingCompletedEventArgs : AsyncCompletedEventArgs

The PingCompletedEventArgs type exposes the following members.

  Name Description
Public property Cancelled Gets a value indicating whether an asynchronous operation has been canceled. (Inherited from AsyncCompletedEventArgs.)
Public property Error Gets a value indicating which error occurred during an asynchronous operation. (Inherited from AsyncCompletedEventArgs.)
Public property Reply Gets an object that contains data that describes an attempt to send an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request message and receive a corresponding ICMP echo reply message.
Public property UserState Gets the unique identifier for the asynchronous task. (Inherited from AsyncCompletedEventArgs.)

  Name Description
Public method Equals(Object) Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method RaiseExceptionIfNecessary Raises a user-supplied exception if an asynchronous operation failed. (Inherited from AsyncCompletedEventArgs.)
Public method ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Instances of this class are passed to a PingCompletedEventHandler method that is called when a SendAsync call completes. The SendAsync methods send an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request asynchronously and wait for a corresponding ICMP echo reply message. The Reply property contains the results of the ICMP echo request.

The following code example demonstrates sending an ICMP echo request asynchronously.

            // the PingCompletedCallback method is called.
            pingSender.PingCompleted += new PingCompletedEventHandler (PingCompletedCallback);

            // The data can go through 64 gateways or routers
