How to get and set cookies for Windows Phone 8

[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]

To set cookies on a request message

  1. Create a System.Net..::.CookieContainer object for the HttpWebRequest..::.CookieContainer property of the HttpWebRequest.

    request.CookieContainer = New CookieContainer()
    
    request.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
    
  2. Add cookie objects to the HttpWebRequest..::.CookieContainer by using the CookieContainer..::.Add method.

    request.CookieContainer.Add(New Uri("https://windowsteamblog.com/windows_phone/b/windowsphone/rss.aspx"),
                                New Cookie("id", "1234"))
    
    request.CookieContainer.Add(new Uri("https://windowsteamblog.com/windows_phone/b/windowsphone/rss.aspx"),
        new Cookie("id", "1234"));
    

To get cookies on a response message

  1. Create a System.Net..::.CookieContainer on the request to hold cookie objects that are sent on the response. You must do this even if you are not sending any cookies.

    request.CookieContainer = New CookieContainer()
    
    request.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
    
  2. Retrieve the values in the HttpWebResponse..::.Cookies property of HttpWebResponse. In this example, the cookies are retrieved and saved to isolated storage.

    Private Sub ReadCallback(asynchronousResult As IAsyncResult)
        Dim request As HttpWebRequest = DirectCast(asynchronousResult.AsyncState, HttpWebRequest)
        Dim response As HttpWebResponse = DirectCast(request.EndGetResponse(asynchronousResult), HttpWebResponse)
        Using isf As IsolatedStorageFile = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication()
            Using isfs As IsolatedStorageFileStream = isf.OpenFile("CookieExCookies", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write)
                Using sw As New StreamWriter(isfs)
                    For Each cookieValue As Cookie In response.Cookies
                        sw.WriteLine("Cookie: " & cookieValue.ToString())
                    Next
                    sw.Close()
                End Using
    
            End Using
        End Using
    End Sub
    
    private void ReadCallback(IAsyncResult asynchronousResult)
    {
        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)asynchronousResult.AsyncState;
        HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)
            request.EndGetResponse(asynchronousResult);
        using (IsolatedStorageFile isf =
            IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication())
        {
            using (IsolatedStorageFileStream isfs = isf.OpenFile("CookieExCookies",
                FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write))
            {
                using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(isfs))
                {
                    foreach (Cookie cookieValue in response.Cookies)
                    {
                        sw.WriteLine("Cookie: " + cookieValue.ToString());
                    }
                    sw.Close();
                }
            }
    
        }
    }
    

Example

The following sample demonstrates how to create a Web request and add a cookie to the request. It also demonstrates how to extract the cookies from the Web response, write them to a file in isolated storage, and read them from isolated storage. When you run this sample, it displays the System.Net..::.Cookie values in a TextBlock control.

Compiling the Code

  • In Visual Studio, create a new Windows Phone Application project named CookiesEx.

  • Copy and paste the code for MainPage.xaml and MainPage.xaml.cs or MainPage.xaml.vb, replacing the file contents.
