Hi,

Where are the DefaultCredentials stored/accessed from for a WinForms v3.5 app?

That is if I am using the settings for defaultProxy for my Winforms v3.5 application, and set a proxy server address here, exactly where does/can the username/password come from? Or in other words where does the framework source the "default credentials" for a winforms application running on the client PC?

<defaultProxy
  enabled="true|false"
  useDefaultCredentials="true|false"
  <bypasslist> … </bypasslist>
  <proxy> … </proxy>
  <module> … </module>
/>

Background - apparently ClickOnce can use this for a client side application, however I'm trying to work out where click once would get this defaultCredential from, for a user who is running the clickonce install for my winforms application.
