Public ReadOnly Property Cookies As HttpCookieCollection
Property Value
An HttpCookieCollection object representing the client's cookie variables.
Examples
The following code example loops through all cookies sent by the client and sends the name, expiration date, security parameter, and values of each cookie to the HTTP output.
int loop1, loop2;
HttpCookieCollection MyCookieColl;
HttpCookie MyCookie;
MyCookieColl = Request.Cookies;
// Capture all cookie names into a string array.
String[] arr1 = MyCookieColl.AllKeys;
// Grab individual cookie objects by cookie name.
for (loop1 = 0; loop1 < arr1.Length; loop1++)
{
MyCookie = MyCookieColl[arr1[loop1]];
Response.Write("Cookie: " + MyCookie.Name + "<br>");
Response.Write ("Secure:" + MyCookie.Secure + "<br>");
//Grab all values for single cookie into an object array.
String[] arr2 = MyCookie.Values.AllKeys;
//Loop through cookie Value collection and print all values.
for (loop2 = 0; loop2 < arr2.Length; loop2++)
{
Response.Write("Value" + loop2 + ": " + Server.HtmlEncode(arr2[loop2]) + "<br>");
}
}
Dim loop1, loop2 As Integer
Dim arr1(), arr2() As String
Dim MyCookieColl As HttpCookieCollection
Dim MyCookie As HttpCookie
MyCookieColl = Request.Cookies
' Capture all cookie names into a string array.
arr1 = MyCookieColl.AllKeys
' Grab individual cookie objects by cookie name
for loop1 = 0 To arr1.GetUpperBound(0)
MyCookie = MyCookieColl(arr1(loop1))
Response.Write("Cookie: " & MyCookie.Name & "<br>")
Response.Write("Secure:" & MyCookie.Secure & "<br>")
' Grab all values for single cookie into an object array.
arr2 = MyCookie.Values.AllKeys
' Loop through cookie value collection and print all values.
for loop2 = 0 To arr2.GetUpperBound(0)
Response.Write("Value " & CStr(loop2) + ": " & Server.HtmlEncode(arr2(loop2)) & "<br>")
Next loop2
Next loop1
Remarks
ASP.NET includes two intrinsic cookie collections. The collection accessed through the Cookies collection of HttpRequest contains cookies transmitted by the client to the server in the Cookie
header. The collection accessed through the Cookies collection of HttpResponse contains new cookies created on the server and transmitted to the client in the Set-Cookie
header.
Note
After you add a cookie by using the HttpResponse.Cookies collection, the cookie is immediately available in the HttpRequest.Cookies collection, even if the response has not been sent to the client.
