Use cookies from CookieContainer in WebBrowser

Question

Is there any way that I can actually use the cookies from a cookie container (taken from a WebRequest previously) and use them in a WebBrowser control? If so, how would I do

Answer 1

Here's an example oh how this could be achieved:

private class CookieAwareWebClient : WebClient
{
    public CookieAwareWebClient()
    {
        CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
    }

    public CookieContainer CookieContainer { get; private set; }

    protected override WebRequest GetWebRequest(Uri address)
    {
        var request = base.GetWebRequest(address);
        var httpRequest = request as HttpWebRequest;
        if (httpRequest != null)
        {
            httpRequest.CookieContainer = CookieContainer;
        }
        return request;
    }
}


private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    using (var client = new CookieAwareWebClient())
    {
        client.Proxy.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
        client.DownloadData("http://www.google.com");
        var cookies = client.CookieContainer.GetCookies(new Uri("http://www.google.com"));
        var prefCookie = cookies["PREF"];
        webBrowser1.Navigate("http://www.google.com", "", null, "Cookie: " + prefCookie.Value + Environment.NewLine);
    }
}
