c# and cookies

[Luca]

I have to write a win application that call a web service that create two
cookies. I've already written the web service, when i call it from a web
browser it's all ok and the cookies are create, but when i call it from my
application the two cookies are not created. Why?

Hi,

cookies contain small amount of data that are stored in client computers and
are intended to be used with Web forms (and Web Services). They are part of
Request & Response objects.

OK, thanks.

But I need to do that. How can I do?

Hi,

Sorry for the incomplete post.
Also, you have to use the System.Net class to get a cookie object to use in
winforms app.

Though I have to say that I've never tried to create a cookie from a
WinForms app... I suppose, at the end of the day, a cookie is just a little
text file, so I guess it must be possible...

I create a web application, but it doesn't work. The same problem.

You need to provide a place to store the cookies. See "System.Net.CookieContainer".
I have never used it (yet) but it is something like:
* create a cookiecontainer
* tell the webservice class to use it

You should keep a reference to the container, as you need to use it for multiple
requests.

Search for CookieContainer in MSDN: there is a "HOW TO"
