Get best access response time from a server directory C#

Question

My scenario is:

I've 20 servers:

\\server1.com
\\server2.com
\\server3.com

...

\\server20.com

My application need access the "best" server. "The best" means the one with the smallest response time.

How I can check this response time in C#?

Answer 1

You can calculate response time using HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse .

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(myUri);
System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch timer = new Stopwatch();
timer.Start();
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
response.Close();
timer.Stop();
TimeSpan timeTaken = timer.Elapsed;
