Hi Paul,

Please try the code below:

ArrayList entries = ADXIEHelper.FindCacheEntries("^[Cookie:]");
if (entries.Count > 0)
{
foreach (ADXIEHelper.ADXIECacheEntry entry in entries)
{
}
}

Hi Paul,

Session cookies are not stored in the cache. To get session cookie you can use the 'cookie' property of the HTML document.

also is there some description of how to parse the .txt file

To open text files you can use the FileStream or StreamReader .NET classes.

document.cookie gets the cookie for the current page. I need access to session cookies for other pages (chrome can do it)

Hi Paul,

To access document.cookie in all opened IE tabs/windows you can use the 'GetModulesByTypeName' static method of iemodule.

E.g.
// The public method of the IEModule class
public string GetSessionCookie()
{
return this.HTMLDocument.cookie;
}

private void LoadCookie()
{
IEModule module;

ArrayList modules = AddinExpress.IE.ADXIEModule.GetModulesByTypeName(this.GetType().FullName);
for (int i = 0; i < modules.Count; i++)
{
module = modules[i] as IEModule;
if (module != null)
{
string cookie = module.GetSessionCookie();
}
}
}
