Examples

The following code example shows how to obtain the HttpCookiesSection object from the configuration file of an existing Web application.


  // Get the Web application configuration.
  System.Configuration.Configuration webConfig =
  WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("/aspnetTest");

  // Get the section.
  string configPath = "system.web/httpCookies";
  System.Web.Configuration.HttpCookiesSection httpCookiesSection =
  (System.Web.Configuration.HttpCookiesSection)webConfig.GetSection(
  configPath);


 ' Get the Web application configuration.
 Dim webConfig _
 As System.Configuration.Configuration = _
 WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("/aspnetTest")

 ' Get the section.
 Dim configPath As String _
 = "system.web/httpCookies"

 Dim httpCookiesSection _
 As System.Web.Configuration.HttpCookiesSection = _
 CType(webConfig.GetSection(configPath), _
 System.Web.Configuration.HttpCookiesSection)

Remarks

The HttpCookiesSection class provides a way to programmatically access and modify the httpCookies section of a configuration file.

It defines the settings applied by default to all cookies issued by the application, unless the code issuing the cookie overrides them.

One objective of the httpCookies element is to support the use of HttpOnly cookies. HttpOnly cookies (cookies with the HttpOnly attribute) were introduced in Internet Explorer 6 to help mitigate the risk of cross-site scripting. The HttpOnly attribute prevents cookies from being accessed through client-side script. Any information contained in an HttpOnly cookie is less likely to be disclosed to a hacker or a malicious Web site. For more information, search MSDN (msdn.microsoft.com) for "HttpOnly."

Note

The HttpCookiesSection can read and write information from and to the related section of the configuration file according to the section property AllowDefinition whose value is Everywhere.

Constructors

HttpCookiesSection()

This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Initializes a new instance of the HttpCookiesSection class.

Properties

CurrentConfiguration	Gets a reference to the top-level Configuration instance that represents the configuration hierarchy that the current ConfigurationElement instance belongs to. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
Domain	This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. Gets or sets the cookie domain name.
ElementInformation	Gets an ElementInformation object that contains the non-customizable information and functionality of the ConfigurationElement object. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
ElementProperty	Gets the ConfigurationElementProperty object that represents the ConfigurationElement object itself. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
EvaluationContext	Gets the ContextInformation object for the ConfigurationElement object. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
HasContext	Gets a value that indicates whether the CurrentConfiguration property is `null`. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
HttpOnlyCookies	This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. Gets or sets a value indicating whether the support for the browser's `HttpOnly` cookie is enabled.
Item[ConfigurationProperty]	Gets or sets a property or attribute of this configuration element. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
