if(Request.Cookies.Get("LOGINID")!=null)
throws nullreferenceexception

while

 if (Request.Cookies["LOGINID"] !=null)
works fine
any ideas?

Hi there,

Are you sure this is indeed the offending code causing the null reference exception?

AFAIK, both checks for null should work without raising an exception.

Yes i am sure.do is work for u?

Yes, it does. Here's what I did:

1. In Visual Studio 2005, choose File | New Web site (C#)

2. In the code behind of Default.aspx, I added :

if(Request.Cookies.Get("LOGINID")!=null)
{
  // Not null
}

if (Request.Cookies["LOGINID"] !=null)
{
  // Not null
}

3. Set break points in the code

4. Hit F5.

Everything runs fine....
