  There is no programatic way in System.Net to do that.

  you could use the WInnet APIs to change the proxy settings if you wish

  Thanks. I would like change the inet explorer proxy settings and not the proxy for the WebRequest class.

  By default .Net 2.0 web requests will read your IE proxy settings.  If you want to override those settings you have a few options:

  1. Set you proxy settings via an application configuration file as specified here:

  2. Set the proxy per request, by using the Proxy property on the WebRequest object.  You would have to persist your proxy settings somewhere to be accessible between runs of you app.

   

  Note: .Net only reads the IE proxy settings, you cannot alter them from code.  The only way to do that would be to hack the registry, which is not advisable.
