I am writing a program in Visual Studio .NET 2003, and as such I am using version 1.1 of the .NET Framework.
I need to include a function to ping a remote computer, and, while it is easy enough to pass it into the command prompt, I don't know of any way to read the result of the ping attempt.
MSDN says that there is a Ping class in .NET 2.0 and 3.0 (System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping - system.dll), but that doesn't really help me, as it's not in .NET 1.1
Is there any way I can import the functionality from .NET 2.0 (I have the Framwork and C# 2005 Express installed), or is there any other way to ping and receive a result?
I would really appreciate some help with this, as I need to make this program for work.... and I need to have it done by Monday afternoon.
Thanks again,
MartyExodus

I suppose you could access a v2.0 assembly (dll) from a v1.1 executable.
The method I have that wraps the ping is:
<br />
public static System.Net.NetworkInformation.IPStatus<br />
Ping<br />
(<br />
string HostName<br />
)<br />
{<br />
System.Net.NetworkInformation.IPStatus result = System.Net.NetworkInformation.IPStatus.Unknown ;<br />
<br />
try<br />
{<br />
result = (new System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping()).Send ( HostName , 1000 ).Status ;<br />
}<br />
catch<br />
{<br />
}<br />
<br />
return ( result ) ;<br />
}<br />
You don't even need the express version, just the SDK.

You can use the StandardOutput property of the Process class to capture the output of a commandline application.

Ha. Thank you everyone for your quick responses. However, I'm still having a slight problem, possibly due to that fact that i didn't articulate my original problem.
ednrgc and PIEBALDconsult - The reason that i didn't do as the two of you said is simply this: System.Net.NetworkInformation doesn't exist in .NET 1.1, and as such, the Ping class doesn't exist either (Or I possibly don't know how to access them, but I'm pretty sure I'm right)
dan neely - I believe this method will work, however, I'm rather uncertain as to HOW to use it. This is what I have so far:
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;
private void ping(string computer)
{
string args = "/k ping " + computer;
Process p = new System.Process()
ProcessStartInfo ps = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd", args);
p.StartInfo = ps;
p.Start();
StreamReader s = p.StandardOutput;
MessageBox.Show(s.Readline);
}
The command prompt loads correctly, but alas, the StreamReader fails, and the MessageBox does not show. It generates an InvalidOperationException, and simply states "StandardOutput has not been redirected."
Thanks everyone again for the quick response, and hopefully, you can help me further.
Thanks,
MartyExodus

Hey, thanks a lot.
While I'm not using the exact code from the article you posted... (simply because I'd like to LEARN rather than simply USE) you've inspired me to learn how to use sockets - something I should have done a long time ago.
But again, thanks to all who posted.

I understand that. But I meant compile the method into its own v2.0 dll and reference it from your v1.1 executable. You said you have the Express version so you must have the v2.0 dlls and compiler. I haven't tried it, nor do I have a way to try it.

Well I once did my own ping in .NET 1.1
Her is the code; it will only compile and run within my environment,
but I'll show it anyway.
env.log() is just a logging function, and can be ignored (or used!)
class LP_Format does string formatting, is obvious
class LP_Thread basically is Thread, LP_BackgroundThread is derived from Thread
(sets IsBackground and calls Start).
remark: this is not thread-safe (since I use a static pingResult internally),
but that could easily be solved.
<pre>
public static bool Ping(string remoteIPadrString) {
pingResult=false;
LP_BackgroundThread thread=new LP_BackgroundThread("PING("+remoteIPadrString+")",
new LP_ObjectHandler(Pinger), remoteIPadrString);
if (!thread.Join(10000)) {
env.log(0, "Aborting PING("+remoteIPadrString+") due to timeout");
//thread.Abort();
LP_Thread.Sleep(1000);
}
return pingResult;
}
protected static bool pingResult;
protected static void Pinger(object arg) {
string remoteIPadrString=arg as string;
env.log(0, "---------");
env.log(0, "Ping("+remoteIPadrString+")");
IPAddress remoteIPadr=IPAddress.Parse(remoteIPadrString);
pingResult=false;
Socket socket=null;
try {
env.log(env.DETAIL2, "remoteIPadr="+remoteIPadr.ToString());
IPAddress[] IPAS=getIPAddresses();
env.log(env.DETAIL2, "got IP addresses");
socket=null;
foreach (IPAddress IPA in IPAS) {
try {
env.log(env.DETAIL2, "Ping("+remoteIPadrString+") using "+IPA.ToString());
socket=new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Raw, ProtocolType.Icmp);
socket.Blocking=false;
env.log(env.DETAIL1, "got socket");
EndPoint localEP=new IPEndPoint(IPA, IPEndPoint.MinPort);
EndPoint remoteEP=new IPEndPoint(remoteIPadr, IPEndPoint.MinPort);
socket.Bind(localEP);
ushort[] sdata=new ushort[20];
sdata[0]=0x0800; // ICMP echo request
sdata[1]=0; // ICMP checksum
sdata[2]=0x0100; // ICMP identifier
sdata[3]=0x0400; // ICMP sequence number
ushort val=0x6162;
for (int j=0; j<16; j++) {
sdata[j+4]=val;
val+=0x0202;
if (val==0x7963) val=0x6263;
if (val==0x7778) val=0x7761;
}
sdata[1]=ICMPchecksum(sdata);
env.log(env.DETAIL2,"checksum="+LP_Format.Hex4(sdata[1]));
byte[] bdata=new byte[40];
for (int j=0; j<20; j++) {
bdata[2*j]=(byte)((sdata[j]>>8)&0xFF);
bdata[2*j+1]=(byte)(sdata[j]&0xFF);
}
bool dump=false;
int len=socket.SendTo(bdata, remoteEP);
env.log(env.DETAIL1, "sent");
if (dump) {
env.log(env.DETAIL2,"sent len="+len);
for (int j=0; j<len; j+=4) {
env.log(env.DETAIL2, LP_Format.Hex2(bdata[j])+" "+
LP_Format.Hex2(bdata[j+1])+" "+
LP_Format.Hex2(bdata[j+2])+" "+LP_Format.Hex2(bdata[j+3]));
}
}
LP_Thread.Sleep(50);
int len2=0;
byte[] bdata2=new byte[300];
len2=socket.ReceiveFrom(bdata2, SocketFlags.Peek, ref remoteEP);
env.log(env.DETAIL1, "received");
if (dump) {
env.log(env.DETAIL2,"received len="+len2);
for (int j=0; j<len2; j+=4) {
env.log(env.DETAIL2, LP_Format.Hex2(bdata2[j])+" "+
LP_Format.Hex2(bdata2[j+1])+" "+
LP_Format.Hex2(bdata2[j+2])+" "+LP_Format.Hex2(bdata2[j+3]));
}
} else {
env.log(env.DETAIL2,"len="+len+" len2="+len2);
}
pingResult=true;
env.log(0, "Ping("+remoteIPadrString+") using "+IPA.ToString()+" is OK");
} catch(Exception) {}
try {if (socket!=null) socket.Shutdown(SocketShutdown.Both);} catch(Exception) {}
try {if (socket!=null) socket.Close();} catch(Exception) {}
socket=null;
}
} catch(Exception e) {
env.error(e);
}
try {if (socket!=null) socket.Shutdown(SocketShutdown.Both);} catch(Exception) {}
try {if (socket!=null) socket.Close();} catch(Exception) {}
env.log(env.DETAIL1,"ping("+remoteIPadrString+")="+pingResult);
}
</pre>

Sure!
1- First install DotNet 2.0 on your machine.
2- Then add a reference to your project. Choose browse.
3- Browse to the DotNet 2.0 folder -I believe it's under "windows\system32"-. and choose the assembly you want to reference.
4- In your case the assembly should be "System.Net.NetworkInformation.dll".
PS.
If you do this then DotNet 2.0 should also be installed on the user's machine.

Sing with me 
You're not shy, you get around
You wanna fly, don't want your feet on the ground
You stay up, you won't come down
You wanna live, you wanna move to the sound
Got fire in your veins, burning hot, but you don't feel the pain
Your desire is insane, you can't stop until you do it again
But sometimes I wonder, as I look in your eyes
Maybe you're thinking of some other guy
But I know, yes I know how to treat you right
That's why you call me in the middle of the night, you say
It's urgent, so urgent, so urgent, just wait and see
How urgent my love can be, it's urgent
You play tricks on my mind, you're everywhere, but you're so hard to find
You're not warm, you're sentimental
You're so extreme, you can be so temperamental
But I'm not looking for a love that'll last
I know what I need and I need it fast
Yeah there's one thing in common that we both share
That's our need for each other anytime, anywhere
It gets urgent, so urgent, you know it's urgent
I wanna tell you it's the same for me
So urgent, just wait and see, how urgent my love can be, it's urgent
(Solo)
You say it's urgent, make it fast, make it urgent
Do it quick, do it urgent, gotta run, make it urgent
Wait it quick, want it urgent, urgent, emergency, urgent, urgent, emergency
Urgent, urgent, emergency, urgent, urgent, emergency
So urgent, emergency

So, how did you develop this song was it using ANNs or may a GA no I know it was a urgent desire to track down and thump in the head all of these urgent commands(sorry requests) - so you used A*.

I've got the width of the text in my combo from the textrenderer class and i'm trying to set the combobox so that all the text is visible no matter how long the text is and without having acres of whitespace if the text is short.
Is there a way of setting the size of this area or measuring how much of the control is not part of this area so that i can resize the control accordingly?
Thanks
Russell
PS I promise this is my last daft Q of the day.
I've been looking at this some more and it no longer seems that daft to me. I've found 2 properties: ClientSize and DropdownWidth. These looked to be just the tools i need but then I realised that ClientSize doesn't take into account the size of the arrow and DropDown Width doesn't include the scrollbar. Maybe I need to know how to measure the arrow / scrollbar instead?
|
|
|
|
|
Rather than lose track of what's been posted in what order in the above message I thought i'd post a reply.
I've just checked the value of ClientSize and it's identical to the width of the control. Is this usual? Does it work differently depending on which control you call it on?
Russell

You could always use the Graphics objects MeasureString method using the font of the combobox. Iterate through the various strings in the combo for the longest one and then measure it.
Finally you can calculate and set the new width of the combobox:
cmbbox.Width = stringsize.Width + (cmbbox.Width - cmbbox.ClientSize);
Think that should be sufficient.
Hope that might be of some help.
Best regards!

hello,
I've linked a file to start my app when you open it (like .doc files open Word)
The problem is that the System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() gives the path of the file instead of the path where my exe resides.
Is there a way to change this back? (without hardcoding it)
thanks.
