Question

How do I point a socket to the proxy ip/port using the winforms webbrowser control? The standard web browser that comes with Visual C#.NET.

Please help in Visual C#.NET.

Answer 1

The WebBrowser control is just a wrapper around IE. So to set proxy settings, you could change the registry key entries.

Something like this:

string serverName = ""; // your proxy server name
string port = ""; // your proxy port

var key = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(@"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings", true);
key.SetValue("ProxyServer", serverName + ":" + port);
key.SetValue("ProxyEnable", 1);
