ConnectivityStatus Class
Represents the status of an application's network connection.
Assembly: System.Web.Extensions (in System.Web.Extensions.dll)
Use the ConnectivityStatus class to specify the network connectivity of Windows-based applications that use client application services. When you set the IsOffline property to true, the client service providers use the offline cache instead of attempting to access the corresponding Web services. The offline status is stored on a per-user and per-application basis. For more information, see How to: Work Offline with Client Application Services.
The following example code demonstrates how to use this class to update the offline status depending on a check box value. In this example, a CheckedChanged event handler updates the offline status. If the user sets the application to the online state, the event handler attempts to revalidate the user. However, if the authentication server is unavailable, the event handler returns the application to the offline state.
private void workOfflineCheckBox_CheckedChanged( object sender, EventArgs e) { ConnectivityStatus.IsOffline = workOfflineCheckBox.Checked; if (!ConnectivityStatus.IsOffline) { try { // Silently re-validate the user. ((ClientFormsIdentity) System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity) .RevalidateUser(); // If any settings have been changed locally, save the new // new values to the Web settings service. SaveSettings(); // If any settings have not been changed locally, check // the Web settings service for updates. Properties.Settings.Default.Reload(); } catch (System.Net.WebException) { MessageBox.Show( "Unable to access the authentication service. " + Environment.NewLine + "Staying in offline mode.", "Warning", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Warning); workOfflineCheckBox.Checked = true; } } }
