[DotNetDevelopment] Proxy authentication.

[idoru78]

Hi folks,

I'm a total beginner at C# so please go easy on me. Most of my
experience has been with VBS and AutoIt so getting my head around C#
and Visual Studio Express has been quite a step up.

I'm trying to write a simple twitter client (using the Twitterizer
framework) but have hit on a snag. The environment I test in requires
proxy authentication talk to the outside world and I have noe idea how
to authenticate through the server.

This is most of my code as it stands within the main form.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Twitterizer.Framework;

namespace TwitIt
{
    public partial class TwitIt_Main : Form
    {
        public TwitIt_Main()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void goTweet_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            String user = Properties.Settings.Default.UserName;
            String password = Properties.Settings.Default.Password;

            try
            {
                Twitter t = new Twitter(user, password);
                t.Status.Update(textUpdate.Text);
                textUpdate.Clear();
            }
            catch (System.Exception ex)
            {
                if (ex.Message == "The remote server returned an
error: (407) Proxy Authentication Required.")
                {
                    Form3 f = new Form3();
                    f.ShowDialog();
                }
                else
                {
                    MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
                }
                textUpdate.Clear();
            }
        }

The catch statement open up a dialog that allows you to enter you
details for the proxy server but its at this point I really dont know
where to go. Or even if what I've done is  logical. If anyone could
point me in the right direction I'd be very grateful.
