Visualstudio-docs: Incorrect XML?

[kylejrp]

This line seems strange:
<proxy bypassonlocal="True" proxyaddress=" HYPERLINK "http://<yourproxy:port#" http://<yourproxy:port#>"/>

Should this be:
<proxy bypassonlocal="True" proxyaddress="http://<yourproxy:port#>"/>

The line still seems off to me. Is this the correct line of code? The syntax highlighting makes me think that this is incorrect:

You still haven't fixed that. I'm trying to set it in VS and nothing is working. This sample code is useless.

All you need is :

<system.net>
          <defaultProxy useDefaultCredentials="true" enabled="true">
           <proxy usesystemdefault="True" />
         </defaultProxy>
    </system.net>

It should pickup the proxy settings from IE settings.
If you are trying to connect to GIT, TFS etc delete the saved password in windows credential manager. When trying to connect it should prompt you for credentials and save them again. If you have old password credentials , Windows is not smart enough to update it in Credentials manager.

Hope this helps
