This looks like an easy and good suggestion. I'll try this!

You could also use the System.Net.Dns class to determine the current IP
address for the device. anything other than 127.0.0.1, and you should
have a
valid network connection.

sample code would look something like:

IPHostEntry hostInfo = Dns.GetHostByName(Dns.GetHostName());

if ((hostInfo != null) && (hostInfo.AddressList != null) &&
(hostInfo.AddressList.Length > 0)) {
if (0 != string.Compare("127.0.0.1",
hostInfo.AddressList[0].ToString(), false, CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture) {
// valid network connection
}
else {
// invalid network connection
}
}
else {
// invalid network connection
}

Hi,

I developed a pocketpc application that connects directly to a SQL Server
(so not the mobile CE edition) usign wifi. My problem is that when the
server / wifi is unavailable (due to bad connection, server restart or
whatever) the mobile application hangs, even with a try.. catch around
the
connection parts. Is there a clean way to "detect" for the sql server
availability or to at least make sure my application doesn't hang and
gives
a proper msgbox failure instead of having to go to memory manager to quit
the application?
