User-Agent problem

[Jeff]

hey

..NET 2.0

In my code I've been accessing a xml file like this:
string url = <url> // for example http://www.test.com/default.xml
XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(url);

But now I need to add the User-Agent to this request. the Url I request
doesn't work if I don't provide the User-Agent info also...

Any ideas on how to add the User-Agent to the url?

You'd need to do more work to retrieve the data - use the WebClient or
WebRequest classes.
