lxXTaCoXxl 26 This release is an updated version of my previously released code snippet entitled "Get Internet Connection State". I've made this snippet into an actual control that you can add to your toolbox. It can be used with all versions of Visual Studio C#. I'm also posting the main source code, I'm still working on the two custom events for it.
