How do I set the HttpRequestHeader for a HttpWebRequest?

c#, httpwebrequest

Solution

`UserAgent`is a property. So set it like this:

HttpWebRequest request = new HttpWebRequest();
request.UserAgent = "Mozilla/4.0";

Problem

I'm trying to set the HttpRequestHeader for a HttpWebRequest like so: ``` new HttpWebRequest().Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.UserAgent, "Mozilla/4.0"); ``` But I get an exception: `System.ArgumentException: This header must be modified using the appropriate property`. How should I be setting the header?
