No, not really, as you cannot determine even the fact, if you're
connected to a network.

Ping the desired service or server instead.

Does it mean that I cannot detect the Local Area Connection Status using .Net
API?

You can detect, if your LAN NIC is working or not, but this does not
allow any conclusion about a connection loss. As for example the loss
may occur beyond the NIC and your PC.
