What's the proper way of reading cookies? Request.Cookies("mycook") doesnt work

[user]

Hi everyone,

May I know the standard way of reading in cookies in ASP.net using
VB.net?

In classic asp, i can do this:

If request.cookies("user") = "abc" then

blah blah

end if

But if i were to do the same in asp.net,

I would hit an ugly error.

What is the proper way of detecting cookies?

Thanks

The difference in .NET is that what you get from the Request.Cookies
collection is an HttpCookie object instead of a string. If the cookie
doesn't exist, you get a null reference instead of an empty string.

HttpCookie user = Request.Cookies("user");
if (user != null && user.Value == "abc") {
//blah blah
}
