Vista - XBAP: Application.GetCookie() not getting browser cookies

Hello,

I am having problems using Application.GetCookie() within a browser-deployed
XBAP application. I know the browser that is hosting the XBAP application
has cookies (including the ASP.NET session cookie). When I get the XBAP
application to call Application.GetCookie, it throws the following
exception: No more data is available (Native Error Code=259).


I notice that if I call SetCookie(), then GetCookie() retrieves a value.
That said, the important part is to get the browser's session cookie so that
the XBAP application can interact with the host website.


Does anyone know how to get the cookies from the host browser of an XBAP
application? This is critical to being able to build an XBAP application
that is part of any website.

Thanks,
Shan McArthur

The problem is that XBAP cannot read session cookies.
