When connecting to a web service using:

Dim W As New System.Net.WebC lient

Hi,

WebClient class uses WebRequest class to access the Internet, therefore you
can use GlobalProxySele ction class to set a global proxy to use. Based on
MSDN documentation, the steps are:
- Create a NetworkCredenti al class.
- Create a WebProxy class with your NetworkCredenti als.
- Call GlobalProxySele ction.Select (you don't need to create a new instance
of this) with your WebProxy class.

Hope it helps,

Huy Nguyen, Visual Basic team.

Hi! I'm trying to send a http request from a Windows form to a third-party server. At the outset, I got an exception - error "407 proxy authentication required", which I suppose is a message from my company's proxy server, requiring me to authenticate myself before it will let me out on the Internet at large. I then did this:

I have built a client which can successfully talk to a 3rd party web service over HTTPS.

Is there a simple way to get my logon credentials to make my web request work through our proxy server? I tried CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials, but I get nothing back. I can get it to work if I just create a new NetworkCredential object specifying user, password and domain.

A C# (.NET 2) application which uses the System.Net.HttpWebRequest object to request a resource over HTTPS is failing following the installation of a new proxy server on our internal network with 407 Proxy Authentication Required. The same request through the old proxy succeeds. The same request to an HTTP address through the new proxy succeeds. Also, the request succeeds when forced to use Basic authentication but fails on NTLM.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
