How to modify "Host" parameter in HttpWebRequest for C# Compact Framework?

Question

I am trying to change the value of "Host" parameters in the HttpWebRequest headers but I am getting error below:

"This header must be modified with the appropriate property. at System.Net.WebHeaderCollection.ThrowOnRestrictedHeader(String headerName)"

I am trying to use the following code:

HttpWebRequest hbWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create(WebService);
hbWebRequest.Method = "POST";
hbWebRequest.Headers["Host"] = WebURL;

Found this link helpful http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ncl/archive/2009/07/20/new-ncl-features-in-net-4-0-beta-2.aspx

which gives the following solution

var request = WebRequest.Create("http://127.0.0.1/") as HttpWebRequest; 
request.Host = "contoso.com"; 
var response = request.GetResponse();

In .NET Framework 4.0 you can use the Host property of the HttpWebRequest class.

hbWebRequest.Host = WebURL;

Edit: Possible duplicate of this question.

Hi David, Sorry to say but hbWebRequest.Host is not coming in Compact Framework.
