Hi Lalitha,

Thanks for pointing me to those articles. Our Winforms/desktop app doesn't
ship with a machine.config, as suggested in KB 318140. I suppose it's
conceivable we could put one on the user's machine, but that may mess up any
existing one they already have where the framework is installed.

That same KB article offers a code snippet that it says is supposed to do
the same thing as the machine.config approach. The problem is that the code
snippet requires that the URL of the proxy server be specified.

If we can possibly help it, we'd like to avoid needing the user to specify
their proxy server address/port. Do you know if there's an equivalent in code
to the machine.config approach (below), which essentially says "use the
system settings, period"?

   <system.net>
      <defaultProxy>
         <proxy
            usesystemdefault = "true"
         />
      </defaultProxy>
   </system.net>

We've been unable to find something that does essentially this via code as
most examples suggest the specify-an-address approach:

IWebProxy proxyObject = new WebProxy("http://myproxyserver:80", true);

Thanks for any assistance you can provide,

Jeff
