A ping is usually just a POST/GET request you must issue to a certain
endpoint bringing certain parameters (blog url / blog name). It should
be trivial to do in ASP.

The exact details of the ping depend on the service you're pinging. I
recommend you take a look at ping-o-matic. It has precise instructions
and has comprehensive info on the subject.
