Use the WebRequest
class to make an HTTP request and see if it succeeds.
Note that 'ping' is really an ICMP function, and not what you're looking for, if you're testing websites (HTTP). If you really do want to just see if you have a connection, then ping will work, and the Ping
class, as squiguy mentioned.
