Hi guys.
Really struggling with this one.
I have written a screen scraping application to retrieve some information from a web site that uses forms authentication.
This works fine on my public broadband link but fails at work because of our proxy server. I originally created a web based application so just set the following in my web.config to use default credentials for our proxy:
This works fine. However I now need to reproduce the application as a windows form application so need to accomplish this through code.
I am using a httpWebRequest to retrieve the contents of the page. I have scoured through a number of examples on the web but nothing seems to work.
I just want to know how to accomplish the settings in the web.config file through code.
Many thanks,
Ben
