How to send HTTP GET/post requests through proxy in C#?

Below example demonstrates how we can send the GET or POST requests through proxy in C#.Net


                HttpWebRequest getRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://www.yahoo.com");


                //set the proxy server and authentication info for this request

                //provide the name of proxy server and port address
                WebProxy myproxy = new WebProxy("proxyserver:8080", true);

                //provide the user id and password for authentication to pass through proxy server
                myproxy.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("userId", "Password");
               getRequest.Proxy = myproxy;

               
                //send the request and get Response from server
                HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)getRequest.GetResponse();
                Stream datastream = response.GetResponseStream();
                StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(datastream);

                String responsefromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();

Console.WriteLine("Response from the server is -> " + responsefromServer );
