The short answer is because your web site demands it.
But to be a little less terse, the virtual directory in which your web
service is running has anonymous access turned off. This means that, in
order to access a page in that directory, credentials are required. If you
had hit a page with a browser, then behind the scenes the browser would have
received a request for credentials and provided them. However, the proxy
class used to access a web service doesn't do that. Instead, you need to
provide them, something you're doing by setting the Credentials property. If
you would rather not do this, then turn anonymous access on on the virtual
directory.
Hope this helps.
