How to set a cookie in C# from .NET Compact Framework?

[N. Anand]

I am using version 1.0 of .NET framework (because in my 2003 beta
installation the debugger does not work properly). I have to set a
cookie in C# and send it to the server. The following code throws an
exception and fails to set the cookie properly. Could someone tell me
how to set the cookie from C#? The code is as follows :
------------------------------------------------------
urlCon = (System.Net.HttpWebRequest)
System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create(url);
...
SupportClass.URLConnectionSupport.SetRequestProperty(urlCon, "cookie",
sessionId); // throws an exception
...
System.Net.HttpWebResponse httpWebResponse =
(System.Net.HttpWebResponse) urlCon.GetResponse();
------------------------------------------------------
public static void SetRequestProperty(System.Net.HttpWebRequest
connection, System.String key, System.String keyValue)
{
if (connection.HaveResponse)
throw new System.Exception("Already connected");
connection.Headers.Add(key, keyValue);
}
------------------------------------------------------
The CookieContainer property doesn't seem to be supported by my
version of the compact framework.

Thanks and Regards,
N. Anand

You can set the cookies on the request in CF like this:

//============================================
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest
HttpWebRequest.Create(url);

request.Headers.Add("Cookie:" + "somecookie");
//============================================

I have tried setting the cookie this way but it throws an
ArgumentException and does not set the cookie. It still does not work!

Thanks and Regards,

Are you using the VS.NET 2003 Final Beta?

No, I am not using the 2003 beta because the debugger does not seem to
work in that version. I need the debugger badly.
The version I am using is as follows :

Microsoft Development Environment 2002 version 7.0.9466
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 version 1.0.3705
Microsoft Smart Device Extensions for Visual Studio .NET version
7.00.2098

Well that's likely to explain why code that works for the rest of us doesn't
work for you. Many bugs have been fixed and features added since Beta 1.
