Hi,

How can I make a ping in Visual Basic under Compact Framework for
Pcket PC Windows CE 5 ?

How can I retrieve current IP address (Wifi connection) ?

Thanks,

Xavier
 
The answer to both questions is "OpenNETCF Smart Device Framework". There
is a Ping class and classes that will allow you to query the state of any
network adapters in the system.

We use the Ping class provided by the OpenNETCF and it works brilliantly. We
use it to send ICMP packets to our gateways to test if they are responding.
If sitting behind a router, ensure the router allows the ICMP protocol as
some disable this protocol by default.
 
Hi Paul..

"OpenNETCF Smart Device Framework" also works with VS2005 ?

Thanks in advanced.

Hi,

Precisions : I need a free solution, usable with Compact Framewoek 2.
It seems that OpenNETCF is free only for CF 1, no ?

Any other idea ?

Thanks,

Xavier
 
Why? The cost is minimal and the Community Edition is free. You can
certainly write your own, potentially basing it on OpenNETCF SDF 1.0, but I
can't figure out why you'd want to spend more money on your time than on
tools. If your core business is writing Ping for the Compact Framework, I
guess that it might make sense to build your own, but if this is some
subsidiary capability to your main program, you've already spent enough time
to have paid for the SDF...

The community edition is free for all versions. If you want source and
Studio integration, then it starts at $50 (and in this industry that's still
about equivalent to free).
