C# Connecting Through Proxy

I’ve tried doing this for a long time in many different ways but nothing seems to work. Essentially I want to create a proxy checker in C# that checks it by actually going to a page (e.g. http://google.com/ncr) and determines from there if it got there or not.

Is this even possible?

Answer 1

If it is a http proxy

bool OK = false;
try
{
    WebClient wc = new WebClient();
    wc.Proxy = new WebProxy(Host, Port);
    wc.DownloadString("http://google.com/ncr");
    OK = true;
}
catch{}
