Ive used the active x control (webbrowser), but Im having troubles to find a way to tell it to use a specific proxy.

Navigation is simple enough, so I dont need help with that. Only the proxy part. Thanks in advance.

I prefer examples in c#, but vb.net is ok ;)

Last but not least, is there another component like the webbrowser, that I should know of?
 
The WebBrowser ActiveX control should use whatever proxy IE is configured to use - I doubt youll be able to make it use an arbitrary one of your choice.

The next version of the framework has a managed WebBrowser wrapper complete with DOM, that will be a great deal better than using the old ActiveX control.
 
Thanks for the info, Im looking forward for that.

But still, when Ive set a proxy in my "real" IE, it still uses my real ip. If it didnt I wouldnt have that many problems.

But Ill have a look at it, only to prove myself wrong (Which I guess Im).

Btw: Do you know of the up coming release date for the next framework?

[EDIT]:You are absolutely correct.the Webbrowser component does indeed use the current proxy settings.

You have saved my day.

Even though that this isnt the best solution, it is much better than not to be able to do it. Thanks again.
