Public Overridable Property Credentials As ICredentials

An ICredentials containing the authentication credentials associated with the request. The default is null.

The following example sets the Credentials property using the default credentials of the current user. When the request is made, credentials stored in this property are used to validate the client. This is identical to setting the UseDefaultCredentials property to true.

// Create a request for the URL. 		
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create ("http://www.contoso.com/default.html");
// If required by the server, set the credentials.
request.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
// Get the response.
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse ();

' Create a request for the URL. 		
Dim request As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create("http://www.contoso.com/default.html")
' If required by the server, set the credentials.
request.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
' Get the response.
Dim response As HttpWebResponse = CType(request.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)

The Credentials property contains the authentication credentials required to access the Internet resource.
