How to insert CookieCollection to CookieContainer?

Hi,

After I get response from httpwebrequest, I'd like the cookies obtained to save for the purpose of using them in another httbwebrequest. However, I'd need to insert CookieCollection to CookieContainer. How do I do that? Tried to do:

request.Cookiecontainer.add(response.Cookies);

but this keeps getting out of error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

From stackoverflow

• request.CookieContainer.Add(response.Cookies);
  

  Skuta : Object reference not set to an instance of an object. -> I'm asking because this error keeps popping out on THIS code line..

  John Rasch : Just instantiate a CookieContainer before you add the cookies

• request.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
  request.CookieContainer.Add(response.Cookies);
  

  According to Microsoft:

  CookieContainer is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) by default. You must assign a CookieContainer object to the property to have cookies returned in the Cookies property of the HttpWebResponse returned by the GetResponse method.

• dim cookie as new cookiecontainer

  request codes here response here

  cookie.add(response.cookies)
