Send cookie with WebRequest

[Dave]

string m_request = some_web_page;

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(m_request );

HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

Which works fine, but I need to set and send a cookie with the WebRequest.
How do I do that?

HttpWebRequest has a property CookieContainer which is of type
CookieContainer that has an Add method ... !

Hi Dave,

As for HttpWebRequest component, if you want to maintain cookies between
multiple WebRequest instances(and webrequest calls), you need to create an
CookieContainer instance and attach it to the WebRequest.CookieContainer
property.

Also, if you want the cookies to share between multiple WebRequest
instances, you need to make sure all of those WebRequest instances use the
same cookie container.

here are some web thread that also mentioned some code that use
CookieContainer:
