Problem with HTTPWebRequest on Pocket PC 2003 SE Emulator

Hello all, I'm trying to create a simple application that does a HTTP request/response on a button click. Here's the entire code which I got from a reference book:

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.ComponentModel;

using System.Data;

using System.Drawing;

using System.Text;

using System.Windows.Forms;

using System.IO;

using System.Net;

namespace emulator2

public partial class Form1 : Form

public Form1()

public void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

Uri l_Uri = new Uri("http://www.testing.com");

HttpWebRequest l_WebReq = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(l_Uri);

HttpWebResponse l_WebResponse = (HttpWebResponse)l_WebReq.GetResponse();

Stream l_responseStream = l_WebResponse.GetResponseStream();

StreamReader l_SReader = new StreamReader(l_responseStream);

string resultstring = l_SReader.ReadToEnd();

Console.WriteLine(resultstring);

The thing that puzzles me is that when I shift the entire chunk of code to a Windows Application, it works fine. But when I use it on a Device Application, it just throws me an error. Here are the details of the error:

  System.Net.WebException was unhandled
  Message="Could not establish connection to network."
  StackTrace:
    at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.finishGetResponse()
    at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
    at emulator2.Form1.button1_Click()
    at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnClick()
    at System.Windows.Forms.Button.OnClick()
    at System.Windows.Forms.ButtonBase.WnProc()
    at System.Windows.Forms.Control._InternalWnProc()
    at Microsoft.AGL.Forms.EVL.EnterMainLoop()
    at System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run()
    at emulator2.Program.Main()

The error points at this line:

HttpWebResponse l_WebResponse = (HttpWebResponse)l_WebReq.GetResponse();

Does anyone have any idea on how to solve this I need to get this solved real quick..so any help given is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Oh btw, I'm using VS 2005 to compile/run the codes..forgot to include this in.
