title: Test Nework Latency Using VB.NET
body: <p><strong>Goal:</strong> take a list of servers' external ip address. perform a ping to test latency. Like in CMD the ping command shows an average latency. But in visual studio I found the ping only as Boolean for connectivity to a server. How might I go about testing latency to a server to find the fastest connection possible in vb.net? I can't find any other way to do a ping other than. <code>my.computer.network.ping(192.168.1.1)</code>. So is there another way to accomplish a latency test in vb.net? Thanks!</p>
