How do you check if the connection is established?

I found this method and it is quick
//Creating the extern function...
[DllImport("wininet.dll")]
private extern static bool InternetGetConnectedState(
out int Description, int ReservedValue ) ;
public static bool IsConnectedToInternet( )
{
int Desc ;
return InternetGetConnectedState( out Desc, 0 ) ;
}
and previous method
public static bool IsInternetConnected(string url)
{
bool FoundUrl = true;
try
{
WebRequest req;
WebResponse result;
Stream ReceiveStream;
Encoding encode;
StreamReader sr;
req = WebRequest.Create(url);
req.Timeout = 5000;
result = req.GetResponse();
ReceiveStream = result.GetResponseStream();
encode = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-8");
sr = new StreamReader(ReceiveStream, encode);
}
catch(System.Exception e)
{
FoundUrl = false;
}
return FoundUrl;
}
Thanks
Konrad

Hi Konrad,
Well, i've seen in a few articles that using any windows api functions to test internet connection isn't reliable anyway - at the most it will say that you are connected, but it can't check either it's just a LAN connection, or internet.
What i would do is try to establish a conection with a well nown web site, say yahoo or google using System.Net.HttpWebRequest class. I am not sure if it's a synchronous or asynchronous socket connection, but anyway you can launch it in a separate thread. I remember myself doing that back in Delphi couple years ago, and it worked fine!
