  DownloadString methos of WebClient cannot connect to remote server

  Dec 21, 2012 07:46 PM|LINK

  Hi all,

  I have the following situation:

  two c# applications:
  1. ConsoleApplication accessing a url and parsing something at that url
  2. ASP.NET app that does the same

  Both apps are working fine on my machine (the ASP.NET app works when executed in VS2008, using the surrogate IIS), on a second machine the ASP.NET app always gets cannot connect to remote server error. I see different settings in the Proxy settings on the two machines. Do I have to incorporate this in my code?

  A shortened sample is below:

  WebClient w = new WebClient();
  string s = w.DownloadString(http://www.somesite.com/public/list.htm);
  //some processing of s

  Or is it just a context problem? How do I make the user running IIS get connection to the site?

  Thanks,
  kowalsky

  Or is it just a context problem? How do I make the user running IIS get connection to the site?
