If your site uses an HTTP proxy to provide access to the Web, you must configure a global proxy instance to enable your application to communicate with the Web proxy. The following code will create a proxy instance that will enable a WebRequest to use a proxy to communicate with the Internet. It assumes that the proxy host is named "webproxy" and that it communicates on port 80, the standard HTTP port:
DefaultControlObject proxyObject = new DefaultControlObject("webproxy",80); GlobalProxySelection.Select = proxyObject;
