How do I assign WebService Proxy?

[Bharat]

I am using the Scheduler with the WebService for all the data binding. I have custom data provider that talks to the database and used into the contoller for the webservice. It works fine when it is used with the setting: ResourcePopulationMode="ClientSide". When I change it to ResourcePopulationMode="ServerSide", I get the error. The reason is that webservice is secured by forms authentication and I need to pass in the credentials before I make calls to the webservice. I tried to see if I can create and assign proxy myself with no success. Looks like it only takes the path to the webservice url. How would I solve this problem?

Thanks a lot...

Hello Bharat,

Currently, there's no way to set a proxy for this web service call.

We'll add such functionality for the next release (Q3 2010) , but for the moment the only option is to set the ResourcePopulation mode to Manual and call the web service manually.

Apologies for the caused inconvenience.

Hello Bharat,

A quick follow-up. It turns out you can still use a proxy by setting a default one. Here's an example:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
        WebProxy.GetDefaultProxy().Address = new Uri("http://localhost:8888");
}

I hope this helps.
