how to check if you have internet.
you will need one button

once you have 1 button, double click and enter this code:

Code: Select all

If My.Computer.Network.IsAvailable = True Then
            MsgBox("Computer is connected.")
         If My.Computer.Network.IsAvaliable = False Then
            MsgBox("Computer is not connected.")
        End If

hope this helped! (someone posted this, i just edited this a bit. this is more useful in webbrowsers than the original code that i received.)

try this:

OK,
This is what I was tring to do.

Code: Select all

   Private Function IsConnectionAvailable() As Boolean
        //Call url
        //"http://www.MyServer.com"
        //"http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:XXXX"  Port Numbers can be used
        Dim url As New System.Uri("http://www.MyServeraddress_OR_IP:PORT.com/")
        //Request for request
        Dim req As System.Net.WebRequest
        req = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(url)
        Dim resp As System.Net.WebResponse
        Try
            resp = req.GetResponse()
            resp.Close()
            req = Nothing
            Return True
        Catch ex As Exception
            req = Nothing
            Return False
        End Try
    End Function

If IsConnectionAvailable() = True Then
     //Your code to the Add-Ins "NORMAL" load event goes here
else 
     //The code if for what you want to happen if server is offline.
     MsgBox("Sorry! The server is offline right now. Please try back later.")
End IF

My.Computer.Network.IsAvaliable is not used to detect an internet connection, it just checks the local network interface.

Edit: Scottie's method should work.
