[RESOLVED] [2005] WebClient Proxy

[Maglor]

How do I mask my webclient with a proxy? I need to download a page, but I need to download it with a specified proxy. Any help?

        Dim MyWebClient As New Net.WebClient
        Dim MyWebProxy As New Net.WebProxy
        Dim MyCredentials As New Net.NetworkCredential
        With MyCredentials
            .UserName = "kleinma"
            .Password = "secret"
        End With
        With MyWebProxy
            .Address = New Uri("proxy addr here")
            .Credentials = MyCredentials
            .BypassProxyOnLocal = True 'or false
        End With
        MyWebClient.Proxy = MyWebProxy

When i use this in VS 2010
then i get a warning:
Warning 1 Variable 'Mywebproxy' is used before it has been assigned a value. A null reference exception could result at runtime.

Please help me with this.

The only reason you would get a warning like that is if you forgot to put the "New" keyword in the line that declares the myWebProxy variable. If you retyped the example code and didn't copy/paste it, then that is likely your issue.
