SecurityException when calling WebProxy.GetDefaultProxy()?

[theweirdo]

Hi there,

I have a user control embedded into an aspx page. In this control I'm trying to get a WebProxy object by using WebProxy.GetDefaultProxy()... However, I am getting an "Request for permission of the type System.Net.WebPermission...failed". Anyone know why? I have created an instance of WebPermission using new WebPermission(PermissionState.Unrestricted). I have also tried creating an instance of WebPermission and then adding the address of the proxy server to the list by using wp.AddPermission(NetworkAccess.Connect, "

http://proxyname")...

same error.

Anyone know how I can fix this problem?

Thanks
