I'm trying to pass system default proxy from windows application to windows service. While passing the value I get the below error.

//Type 'System.Net.WebRequest+WebProxyWrapper' cannot be serialized. Consider marking it //with the DataContractAttribute attribute, and marking all of its members you want //serialized with the DataMemberAttribute attribute.

Same code works with a Windows application, In which I can get system proxy and send it to the webrequest.

Is there alternative way to pass proxy settings from windows application to windows service

What I have tried:

Below is the code.

WebProxyClass _WebProxy = new WebProxyClass();
_WebProxy.WebProxy = WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy; // This line successfully fetches system proxy
var WebProxy_default = _WebProxy.WebProxy;


_pipe.RegisterApp(IPC_Client, WebProxy_default); // I get error on this point



using System.Net;

 public class WebProxyClass
    {
        public IWebProxy WebProxy { get; set; }
    }

Also tried to manually set proxy in windows service as below...

System.Net.NetworkCredential cr = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("UserName", "Password", "Domain");
WebProxy pr = new WebProxy("127.0.0.1", 8888);
pr.Credentials = cr;
restRequest.Proxy = pr;
