How to set User Agent with System.Net.WebRequest in c#

Question

Hi I\'m trying to set User Agent with WebRequest, but unfortunately I\'ve only found how to do it using HttpWebRequest, so here is my code and I hope you can help me to set

Answer 1

Use the UserAgent property on HttpWebRequest by casting it to a HttpWebRequest.

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
request.UserAgent = "my user agent";

Alternatively, instead of casting you can use WebRequest.CreateHttp instead.
