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.
