    Catching error message from ping

    I've been using ADSI to lookup a complete hostname from active
    directory from a partial as part of a script.

    It goes something like:

    Retrieve partial hostname from excel spreadsheet - authenticate this
    to a full hostname from active directory - ping the host to
    determine if it is reachable - if reachable perform a task.

    The difficult is at the ping stage, some of the hostnames on active
    directory do not seem to be able to resolve to I.P addresses. This
    does not result in a ping succeeding or failing but merely an error,
    how do I catch this error?

    I am using My.Computer.Net work.Ping to perform the ping operation.

      Won't the standard try...catch block handle the exception?

      Thanks,

          Dump ping results into file and analyze file after ping completes.
