I've been doing some testing with WatiN lately. For one of the tests I will need to use a proxy to perform the tests. I can set the proxy manually from IE, but I want to do it programatically. In the past I've had success setting proxy for webbrowser control using the code from here [URL] Unfortunately this does not work for WatiN.

I am using Watin mostly to automate thing I do by hand. Sometimes, I need to change proxy. To do this, I have to set up IE to use a local proxy all the time (listens locally and forwards to a remote porxy), and then by hand change the settings of that program each time I need to use another proxy.
This is not an elegant solution! It may work, but it is not nice.
So, my question is, how do I change programmatically IE settings while using Watin? I code in VB.NET.
I'm having trouble getting this sub to work on Windows 2003. It works on Windows XP and Windows 7. Windows 2003 has "wininet.dll".

I'm using the following code to bind watin to a webbrowser on the winform.
Dim w As IE = New IE(WebBrowser1.ActiveXInstance)
Settings.AutoStartDialogWatcher = False
w.GoTo("http://google.com")
I can see from wireshark that the page get's loaded, but the form is frozen until a exception gets thrown "Timeout while Internet Explorer busy". Is there a way to bind watin to the webbrowser control?
I have a facebook account that has around 1200 friend request. Obviously I dont wanna go through and click each one. So I figure I would make a App for it. So I have it working, but its going sooooo Slow....I have it, Clicking the first Confirm button then closing IE, Then opening it back up and clicking the next one. I know it would be alot faster if i could keep that instance of IE open and have it go through and click each Confirm Button but I cant figure out away to do it. If I put it in a loop, it will submit the first one, then when it loops for the second time it finds the first one again, and says its disabled. Any Idea of how I can get it to move on to the next Confirm button? Here is the code I got written so far.
View 1 Repliesnet/watin application and I am trying to select and item from a combobox on a client's website. I can use watin to drop the list down and select (highlite) an item from the list but the selected item will not populate the textbox above. It seems like watin's .select() is not triggering an event to fire.I can work around this by writing in the first letter of the item in the combobox and use the hypertext feature to select the item but this is not ideal.

But my college uses a proxy so when I connect my laptop I need to change the internet settings in my web browser to view web pages. how I would send requests via a proxy server in VB.NET? Or is there a piece of software that I can download which tunnels all connections or is there a setting in win7 does this?

I have an application that requires data be entered, and after entering, a button is clicked to process that data. Clicking the button works just as it should--the data is processed properly. In constructing a test module, I provide a set of data values, followed by:
btnWhatever.PerformClick()
Nothing happens. I have used this syntax for years, and it has always worked flawlessly. I have triple checked everything else and isolated the problem to the failure of the PerformClick(). The PerformClick() is in a test subroutine that does nothing but fill textboxes and labels with default data, then calls the PerformClick() on the button to begin processing. Again, the button works fine, the data is entered as it should be, but the PerformClick() does not fire the click event.

Is it possible to set a WebBrowser control to use a proxy connection without changing all the other browsers also changing to that proxy?To clarify, I have an application that is monitoring a website but refreshing often enough during the day that I'm getting "you've made too many requests, please try again later". I'd like to get around that by using a proxy. Unfortunately not all anonymous proxies can be trusted for secure information like credit card information, so I only want to proxy the webbrowser control and not proxy any other non-application browsers.There is a site that explains quite well how to change the proxy (link not included, not certain on whether link posting allowed) but it changes the global settings on all browsers.I've tried to use 3rd party components (ex IPWorks HTTP control) however that doesn't work well with script-heavy sites that load and update dynamically - it only gets the empty skeleton of the page before being populated from the server DB.

I've got a vb program that sends an email using SmtpClient. I can't seem to get the message to pass the Proxy server (ccproxy).

View 1 RepliesSo i have a listbox that i have there for a list of proxies. I have 4 buttons pertaining to it. they are find, load, save and check
I have the first 3 finished and working but i haven't found anything useful pertaining to checking the proxies, the only one that i found took like 6 seconds per proxy so it took a lot of time for a decent sized list.
So how could i make it that on the press of that button, it checks all of the proxies in the listbox and it deletes the slow ones and the ones that flat out do not work. and does this at a decent pace(so it would probably be multi threaded)
and since i can not figure this out i have no code pertaining to this except for the sub for the button click i do not feel there is a need to post code
