Setting the User-Agent header for a WebClient request

by

You can check the WebClient documentation for a C# sample that adds a User-Agent to your WebClient and here for a sample for Windows Phone.

This is the sample for C#: 

WebClient client = new WebClient ();

// Add a user agent header in case the 
// requested URI contains a query.

client.Headers.Add ("user-agent", "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; " + 
                                  "Windows NT 5.2; .NET CLR 1.0.3705;)");

This is a sample for Windows Phone (Silverlight):

request.Headers["UserAgent"] = "appname";
// OR
request.UserAgent = "appname";
