Hi Techies,

I have a requirement in my application that i need to read a cookie from the browser which is created by the other application. I am not able to read the cookie value. The cookie is a session cookie which will expires when browser lost the session. I used the below code to read all the cookies in browser. But, i couldn't get the cookie that i am looking for.

Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_COOKIE"];

Please help me in reading the cookie value through .NET application.

Regards,
Vijay Kumar E,

You can get the cookie value using following function.

C#

getCookieValue("Cookie_key");

public static string getCookieValue(string strKey)
    {
        if (HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies[strKey] != null && HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies[strKey].Value + "" != "")
        {
            return HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies[strKey].Value;
        }
        else if (HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies[strKey] != null)
        {
            HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies[strKey].Value = HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies[strKey].Value;
            return HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies[strKey].Value;
        }
        else
        {
            return "";
        }
    }
