Help with WebRequest Authentication

[Bruno]

Hello friends

I'm developing a app o send xml data to a web server using HTTP POST.To do
that Im using the WebRequest VB class. I can send the data sucessfully to the
web server, using:

Dim req As WebRequest
req =
WebRequest.Crea te("http://localhost/SendAndReceiveD ataWebPages/PassText.aspx")
req.Method = "POST"
Dim sw As New StreamWriter(re q.GetRequestStr eam())

sw.WriteLine("H ere goes te text to pass")
sw.Close()
rsp = req.GetResponse ()
......
....

but now I need to use Basic Authentication with username/password encoded on
my connection. Can anyone help me how can I do that, because I don't know how
can I do that.

Thank you for help
Bruno
