Ping Runner

Ping Runner is a small .NET ping utility with:

• a WPF desktop app for long-running ping sessions
• a live graph window with zoom, pan, CSV import/export, and PNG export
• a console try app for quick terminal-based runs

Projects

• PingerTool - the desktop app
• PingerTool.Core - shared ping models and ping loop service
• PingerTool.TryApp - the console entry point

Run

Build the solution:

dotnet build Playground.sln -c Release

Run the desktop app:

dotnet run --project PingerTool\PingerTool.csproj

Run the console app:

dotnet run --project PingerTool.TryApp\PingerTool.TryApp.csproj

Install

The desktop app includes an installer script:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\PingerTool\install.ps1

That publishes a self-contained Windows build to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PingRunner\<version>, records the active version in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PingRunner\current-version.txt, and creates a Start Menu shortcut.

Reinstall the currently selected version in place:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\PingerTool\install.ps1 -Reinstall

Install a new version while keeping older version folders, then optionally remove older versions:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\PingerTool\install.ps1
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\PingerTool\install.ps1 -Reinstall -PruneOldVersions

UI notes

• The desktop app now shows your current public IP in the header area.
• The IP is hidden by default and can be revealed or hidden again with the adjacent button.
