Question

If I have the following setting in my app.config file. It is a setting I need to make sure my WCF client can negotiate the default proxy server.

<system.net>     <defaultProxy enabled='true' useDefaultCredentials='true'></defaultProxy> </system.net> 

Unfortunately, I can’t add to the app.config file in my environment. How do I ensure these settings by setting them at runtime?

Answer 1

I think what you do is create a System.Net.WebProxy object, then set the appropriate variables, then set the System.Net.WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy:

System.Net.WebProxy proxy = new WebProxy(); proxy.UseDefaultCredentials = true; WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy = proxy;
