WinInet InternetSetOption in VB.NET

[Tom Gimpel]

Hi - I'm trying build a small utility to toggle the state of "use
proxy server" setting in IE. In VB6 I could have used the WinInet api
with InternetSetOption - but I cannot get this working in .NET.
I tried looking through the SYSTEM.NET space but could not find an
equivelant that handles the bypass and the notify.
I've seen a few postings of folks trying it, but haven't seen
anybody publish something working. Has anyone gotten calls to
InternetSetOption in WinInet to work in VB.NET?
Respond here or to To********@Tankminder.com - leave the NO_SPAM off

Thanks so much!

Let's have a look at your declaration of InternetSetOption.
