Was looking for the following as well and found it on the following site.
About half way down.

Set Proxy

You need to import unmanaged code it seems, but looks like it will do the trick.

Hope this helps.

Did you implement the suggested solution in the comments section? I'm also need to implement a proxy in one of my projects but havn't had time to work on it, and thought that the above solution should work.

Hi Bardy85,

Yes i have implemented in my project but it asks user name and password while requesting web page.

Since the WebBrowser control is nothing more thanan instance of IE, you can get the proxy settings from the registry

You could do it this way (but since it manipulates the registry, it may require your app to have admin rights):

C#

string key = "Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Internet Settings";
string serverName = "";//your proxy server name;
string port = ""; //your proxy port;
string proxy = serverName + ":" + port;
RegistryKey RegKey = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(key, true);
RegKey.SetValue("ProxyServer", proxy);
RegKey.SetValue("ProxyEnable", 1);

Of course, if you're not using IE, this will probably need to change.
