Accessing Cookies

You can gain access to the cookies associated with an HTTP response through the 

Cookies

property defined by 

HttpWebResponse

. Cookies contain information that is stored by a 

browser. They consist of name/value pairs, and they facilitate certain types of web access. 

The

Cookies

 property is defined like this:

public CookieCollection Cookies { get; set; }

CookieCollection

 implements 

ICollection

 and 

IEnumerable

 and can be used like any other 

collection. (See Chapter 24.) It has an indexer that allows a cookie to be obtained by specifying 

its index or its name.

CookieCollection

 stores objects of type 

Cookie

.

Cookie

 defines several properties that 

give you access to the various pieces of information associated with a cookie. The two that 

we will use here are 

Name

 and 

Value

, which are defined like this:

public string Name { get; set; }

public string Value { get; set; }
