Ping and CLR

[stanl]

Still Trying to Learn..... I realize WB has an excellent ping method. Just trying to incorporate an MSDN example into the WB CLR. The code below worked when I just did a send with no options and checked for success. Then I added the options....... and everything went South

oPing = ObjectClrNew("System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping")
oOptions = ObjectClrNew("System.Net.NetworkInformation.PingOptions")
nTimeOut = ObjectType("I4",128)
buffer = ObjectType("I1",32)
reply = oPing.Send("www.winbatch.com",nTimeOut,buffer,oOptions)
Display(5,"Pinging...","www.winbatch.com")
If reply.Status == 11010
   cReply=""
   cReply=cReply:"Address: ":reply.Address.ToString():@CRLF
   cReply=cReply:"RoundTripTime: ":reply.RoundtripTime:@CRLF

   cReply=cReply:"Buffer Length: ":reply.Buffer.Length
   Message("Reply",cReply)
Else
   Display(3,"Ping Failed",reply.Status)
Endif
oPing.Dispose()
Exit

There may be more issues but for starters

Code (winbatch) Select Expand


;;;buffer = ObjectType("I1",32)  bad form.

; Per c# example = good form.
objEncoder = ObjectClrNew("System.Text.Encoding")
strdata = "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
buffer = objEncoder.ASCII.GetBytes(strData)

and

Code (winbatch) Select Expand


IpStatus = ObjectClrNew("System.Net.NetworkInformation.IPStatus")
reply = oPing.Send("www.winbatch.com",nTimeOut,buffer,oOptions)
Display(5,"Pinging...","www.winbatch.com")
If reply.Status == IpStatus.Success    ; = 0 ;; 11010


Note that our routers block pings.

The Ping Send method has multiple overloads. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping.Send(v=vs.110).aspx

It appears the one you are trying to call requires a Byte array for the Third parameter

Code Select Expand

Send(String, Int32, Byte(), PingOptions)

Here is some code that contains a code sample of how to create a Byte array in WinBatch, so that you can pass it to this method.

Code (winbatch) Select Expand

;***************************************************************************
;**   DotNet Ping
;**
;** Purpose:
;**        Attempts to send an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo message with the specified data buffer to the specified computer,
;**        and receive a corresponding ICMP echo reply message from that computer. This overload allows you to specify a time-out value for the
;**        operation and control fragmentation and Time-to-Live values for the ICMP packet.
;**       
;**        Send(String, Int32, Byte(), PingOptions)
;**       
;** Inputs:  URL
;** Outputs: Results in a Message
;** Reference:
;**       REQUIRES WinBatch 2013A or newer
;**

Thanks.  So, I needed to create an IPStatus Object, and now 2 ways to create a byte array - Winbatch or via System.Text.Encoding...  Tucked away.

Here is yet another method to create a byte array:

Code (winbatch) Select Expand

ByteArray = ObjectType( "ARRAY|UI1", Arrayize( 32, @tab ) )
