Question

I am playing around with Silverlight. Currently, as a test to see if I like the technology, I’m building a utility. This utility simply checks to see if my web sites are up and running.

With Silverlight, C#, how do I ping a website (like http://www.google.com) to see if it is available?

Thank you

You also have to fix up some sort of cross-domain permissions with strategically placed clientaccesspolicy.xml files to allow a Silverlight app running in one domain access to the other domains.
