XMLDocument.Load(url) through a proxy

Question

I have a bit of code that basically reads an XML document using the XMLDocument.Load(uri) method which works fine, but doesn't work so well if the call is made through a proxy.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to make this call (or achieve the same effect) through a proxy?

Answer 1

This is the code that I ended up using:

WebProxy wp = new WebProxy(Settings.Default.ProxyAddress);
wp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(Settings.Default.ProxyUsername, Settings.Default.ProxyPassword);
WebClient wc = new WebClient();
wc.Proxy = wp;

MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(wc.DownloadData(url));
XmlTextReader rdr = new XmlTextReader(ms);
return XDocument.Load(rdr);
