Remarks

Since this service is implemented in managed code, a call to it from managed code will not go through COM interop (or COM proxy). Instead it will be a direct method call. It means that if one get the service object main thread, and make the call on the background thread, the call will happen on the background thread. It is the responsibility of the caller to call the method on main thread when calling with fOkToPrompt = TRUE.

COM Signature

From vsshell90.idl:

HRESULT PrepareWebProxy(
    [in] BSTR strWebCallUrl,
    [in] VsWebProxyState oldProxyState,
    [out] VsWebProxyState* newProxyState,
    [in] BOOL fOkToPrompt
);
