Check for internet access with monotouch

Question

How can I check internet access with MonoTouch? I don't care if the internet comes from a WIFI or the Cell Network, all I care is whether there is internet access or not.

Answer 1

Using Miguel's Reachability class (found here: http://github.com/migueldeicaza/monotouch-samples/raw/master/reachability/reachability.cs) you can just call it like this:

var r = new Reachability(); 
if(!r.IsHostReachable("www.google.com")) {
    // Put alternative content/message here
}
else
{
    // Put Internet Required Code here
}

Hope this helps,
