Hi

I am trying to read a XML file over the internet from behind a firewall. The calling program is coming up with this error:

The remote server returned an error: (407) Proxy Authentication Required.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (407) Proxy Authentication Required.

Source Error:


Line 38: Dim ds As New DataSet
Line 39: 'ds.ReadXml("http://www.asp.net/modules/articleRss.aspx?count=7&mid=64")
Line 40: ds.ReadXml("http://www.rediff.com/rss/inrss.xml")
Line 41: DataGrid3.DataSource = ds.Tables(2).DefaultView
Line 42: DataGrid3.DataBind()



Any idea how I can provide the proxy authentication within the vb.net code when reading a XML file?


Thanks

Regards,
Raj

Use the System.Net.WebProxy object to pass credentials to a proxy server.
