Remarks

The HttpCookie class gets and sets properties of individual cookies. The HttpCookieCollection class provides methods to store, retrieve, and manage multiple cookies.

ASP.NET includes two intrinsic cookie collections. The collection accessed through the Cookies collection of the HttpRequest object contains cookies transmitted by the client to the server in the Cookie header. The collection accessed through the Cookies collection of the HttpResponse object contains new cookies created on the server and transmitted to the client in the Set-Cookie HTTP response header.

Constructors

HttpCookie(String, String)	Creates, names, and assigns a value to a new cookie.
HttpCookie(String)	Creates and names a new cookie.

Properties

Domain	Gets or sets the domain to associate the cookie with.
Expires	Gets or sets the expiration date and time for the cookie.
HasKeys	Gets a value indicating whether a cookie has subkeys.
HttpOnly	Gets or sets a value that specifies whether a cookie is accessible by client-side script.
Item[String]	Gets a shortcut to the Values property. This property is provided for compatibility with previous versions of Active Server Pages (ASP).
Name	Gets or sets the name of a cookie.
Path	Gets or sets the virtual path to transmit with the current cookie.
SameSite	Gets or sets the value for the SameSite attribute of the cookie.
Secure	Gets or sets a value indicating whether to transmit the cookie using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)--that is, over HTTPS only.
Shareable	Determines whether the cookie is allowed to participate in output caching.
Value	Gets or sets an individual cookie value.
Values	Gets a collection of key/value pairs that are contained within a single cookie object.

Methods

Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
TryParse(String, HttpCookie)	Converts the specified string representation of a cookie into its HttpCookie equivalent and returns a value that indicates whether the conversion succeeded.
