Return Value

DicomAssociation must be open before sending out C-ECHO request.

Although in theory the remote entity may return a status other than 0 to indicate an error, in most circumstances (such as remote machine turned off), this method will fail with a trappable error, such as "Fail to connection at TCP level".

The C-ECHO status can also be found in the LastStatus property of DicomAssociation.

For more details of sending C-ECHO via TLS, see Echo method of DicomGlobal object.

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
