        request.Proxy = WebProxy.GetDefaultProxy() ' If you want to use default settings of IE
 
        request.Timeout = -1
        request.KeepAlive = False
 
        request.CookieContainer = New CookieContainer()
 
        Dim response As HttpWebResponse = CType(request.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)
 
        'Print the properties of each cookie.
        Dim cook As Cookie
 
        For Each cook In response.Cookies

cookie is created on the same domain but in my code i want to access the cookie value easily but iinstead i have to put a for loop and then match each cooke witn the desired cookie subkey name and then get the name

why cant i read its value like this

value = HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies("Basket")("BasketID")

thanks

You have it backwards. If you want to read the cookie use value = HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies("Basket")("BasketID")

Response is used to transmit the cookie back to the user, Request is the cooked you received from the users computer.

Actually I am reading the cookies from the other web site using the httpwebrequest then i storing them in the cookiecontainer so may be thats why the request.cookie is not available ?
