{
    // Print the properties of each cookie.

        Console.WriteLine($"Domain: {cook.Domain}");
        Console.WriteLine($"Path: {cook.Path}");
        Console.WriteLine($"Port: {cook.Port}");
        Console.WriteLine($"Secure: {cook.Secure}");

        Console.WriteLine($"When issued: {cook.TimeStamp}");
        Console.WriteLine($"Expires: {cook.Expires} (expired? {cook.Expired})");
        Console.WriteLine($"Don't save: {cook.Discard}");
        Console.WriteLine($"Comment: {cook.Comment}");
        Console.WriteLine($"Uri for comments: {cook.CommentUri}");
        Console.WriteLine($"Version: RFC {(cook.Version == 1 ? 2109 : 2965)}");

        // Show the string representation of the cookie.
        Console.WriteLine($"String: {cook}");
    }
}

Remarks

The Value of a Cookie must not be null. If a null value is assigned to this property, it's replaced with an empty string.

Semicolons and commas are reserved characters that cannot be used in the value of this property. Assigning invalid characters to this property doesn't throw an exception; but when you try to add this Cookie to a CookieContainer instance with the Add method, the operation will fail and throw an exception.
