VB.NET Core Classes in a Nutshell

Name

ServicePointManager

Synopsis

This class is responsible for managing ServicePoint instances. As your applications make HTTP connections to network resources, this class is working behind the scenes to maintain the connections. When your application makes many connections to the same server, this class eliminates the overhead of making a new connection each time you connect.

The ServicePointManager also sets the default certificate policy for new connections. In most cases, the default certificate policy should suit your needs. If you need to change it, see ICertificatePolicy for more details.
