How to Test a Proxy with C#?

Question

Possible Duplicate:
C# Connecting Through Proxy

I've tried doing this for a long time in many different ways but nothing seems to work. Essentially I want to create a proxy checker in C# that checks it by actually going to a page (e.g. http://google.com/ncr) and determines from there if it got there or not.

Is this even possible?

Theres already so many examples for it. Just try setting your proxy in the following [MSDN code](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.httpwebrequest.proxy.aspx) . — perilbrain, Sep 01 '12 at 20:49

If it is a http proxy

bool OK = false;
try
{
    WebClient wc = new WebClient();
    wc.Proxy = new WebProxy(Host, Port);
    wc.DownloadString("http://google.com/ncr");
    OK = true;
}
catch{}

this doesn't check completely, you should also check the result string content. – Sam Salim Nov 29 '13 at 18:51
