Are they any common reasons why the credentials  object returned from  CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials would be empty - use name and password are the empty string?  I am writing an Office Add-In and this call is not retrieving the user's login as specified in the documentation.

Thanks,

Sam

This is because the DefaultCredentials don't actually use a username/pass.  They'll login using Kerberos/NTLM/etc, and are a special case so the username and password fields are not actually used.
