How get the response from Ping.exe

[usmarine3]

I would like to use ping.exe to ping a host, then read the response and display the status of the ping on my page. I suppose I could use the System.Diagnostics.Process class to issue the command initially, but I also would need a way to read the response.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You could use the idea posted here or you may want to look at this link

That link is excellent.

Sorry to gatecrash the thread, but is there a good way of converting C# to VB.Net?

http://authors.aspalliance.com/aldotnet/examples/translate.aspx does a reasonable job - not sure how well it would do with the above link though. It may be easier to just compile the C# into a DLL and reference that from your VB code...
