IWMPNetwork::setProxyName method
[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
The setProxyName method specifies the name of the proxy server to use.
Syntax
public void setProxyName(
System.String bstrProtocol,
System.String bstrProxyName
);
Public Sub setProxyName( _
ByVal bstrProtocol As System.String, _
ByVal bstrProxyName As System.String _
)
Implements IWMPNetwork.setProxyName

Return value

This method fails unless the calling application is running on the local computer or intranet.
Examples
The following code example uses setProxyName to specify the name of the Windows Media Player proxy server for the MMS protocol. The new name is retrieved from a text box when a button is clicked. The AxWMPLib.AxWindowsMediaPlayer object is represented by the variable named player.
private void setProxyName_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
// Test whether proxy settings are manual.
if (player.network.getProxySettings("MMS") == 2)
{
// Store the user's new proxy name.
string proxyname = nameText.Text;
// Set the proxy name.
player.network.setProxyName("MMS", proxyname);
}
else
{
// Warn that the proxy settings must be set to 2 (manual).
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Proxy settings must be manual!");
}
}
Public Sub setProxyName_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles setProxyName.Click
' Test whether proxy settings are manual.
If (player.network.getProxySettings("MMS") = 2) Then
' Store the user's new proxy name.
Dim proxyname As String = nameText.Text
' Set the proxy name.
player.network.setProxyName("MMS", proxyname)
Else
' Warn that the proxy settings must be set to 2 (manual).
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Proxy settings must be manual!")
