Using a proxy in C# Windows App .Net v2.0

[msnews.microsoft.com]

How do I handle a proxy server in a .Net 2.0 Windows App? I had to jump
through hoops to make it work with 1.1 and now I'm converting the code to
2.0.

Thanks.

Jeff.

Jeff,

A proxy server for ^what^ exactly?

It doesn't mean much, really since .NET 2.0 code should be backwards
compatable with 1.1. What you have should work.

I'm trying to make sure that programs that are behind a proxy server can
connect to my web services.

When I did .Net 1.1 I ended up getting Microsoft invovled because I couldn't
get the stuff to work correctly.

It almost looks as if 2.0 does it automatically for you.

Huh??

Are you talking about .Net Remoting where certain parts of the code run on
the server and not on the client?

Proxy can have several meanings. Which means you should type out what
you're trying to do (in the past and now) in a little more detail.

I believe what this is reference to is configuring a proxy server for
connections to the Internet. If you go into Tools - Internet Options - Lan
Settings, you have an option for a proxy server. I believe the hoops that
had to be gone through dealt with getting .Net components to utilize this
setting. I am not sure if .Net 2.0 makes this easier or not, though.

Can somebody answer this for me? I'm trying to connect to the internet to
run webservices on my server and am behind a proxy (this is at a client
site). I need to make sure that the program uses the proxy setting from IE
(we can't have the user enter the information). This is actually running at
hundreds of locations all configured differently so I need to have the code
figure out whether to use a proxy or not.

TIA - Jeff.
