Grabbing Cookies in Web Browser Control - WP7

Question

In order to log into a certain part of a website the users of my application require their cookie. To do this I need to grab it and pass it to url.

Does anyone know

Answer 1

The approach being described in the post you linked is to use the WebBrowser control's InvokeScript method to run some javascript. However the post appears to use a "cookies" collection which doesn't actually exist.

 string cookie = myWebBrowser.InvokeScript("document.cookie") as string;

Now for the hard part the string you get contains all pertinent cookie name/value pairs for the page with the values still being Url encoded. You will need to parse the returned string for the value you need.

See document.cookie property documentation.

Edit:

Looking at it fresh instead of relying on the post, InvokeScript invokes named function on the window of the host browser. Hence the page being displayed in the WebBrowser would itself need to include a function like:-

 function getCookie() { return document.cookie; }

Then the InvokeScript would look like:-

 string cookie = myWebBrowser.InvokeScript("getCookie");
