Assembly: System (in System.dll)
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Send(IPAddress) | Attempts to send an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo message to the computer that has the specified IPAddress, and receive a corresponding ICMP echo reply message from that computer. |
| Send(IPAddress, Int32) | Attempts to send an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo message with the specified data buffer to the computer that has the specified IPAddress, and receive a corresponding ICMP echo reply message from that computer. This method allows you to specify a time-out value for the operation. |
| Send(IPAddress, Int32, Byte[]) | Attempts to send an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo message with the specified data buffer to the computer that has the specified IPAddress, and receive a corresponding ICMP echo reply message from that computer. This overload allows you to specify a time-out value for the operation. |
| Send(IPAddress, Int32, Byte[], PingOptions) | Attempts to send an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo message with the specified data buffer to the computer that has the specified IPAddress and receive a corresponding ICMP echo reply message from that computer. This overload allows you to specify a time-out value for the operation and control fragmentation and Time-to-Live values for the ICMP echo message packet. |
| Send(String) | Attempts to send an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo message to the specified computer, and receive a corresponding ICMP echo reply message from that computer. |
| Send(String, Int32) | Attempts to send an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo message to the specified computer, and receive a corresponding ICMP echo reply message from that computer. This method allows you to specify a time-out value for the operation. |
| Send(String, Int32, Byte[]) | Attempts to send an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo message with the specified data buffer to the specified computer, and receive a corresponding ICMP echo reply message from that computer. This overload allows you to specify a time-out value for the operation. |
| Send(String, Int32, Byte[], PingOptions) | Attempts to send an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo message with the specified data buffer to the specified computer, and receive a corresponding ICMP echo reply message from that computer. This overload allows you to specify a time-out value for the operation and control fragmentation and Time-to-Live values for the ICMP packet. |
The IP address returned by any of the Send overloads can originate from a malicious remote computer. Do not connect to the remote computer using this. Use DNS to determine the IP address of the machine to which you want to connect.
