The difference between HttpCookie and Cookie?

So I'm confused as msdn and other tutorials tell me to use HttpCookies to add cookies via Response.Cookies.Add(cookie). But that's the problem. Response.Cookies.Add only accepts Cookies and not HttpCookies and I get this error:

cannot convert from 'System.Net.CookieContainer' to 'System.Net.Cookie'

Additionally, what's the difference between Response.Cookies.Add(cookie) and Request.CookieContainer.Add(cookie)?

Thanks for the help in advance, I'm trying to teach myself using C#.

// Cookie
Cookie MyCookie = new Cookie();
MyCookie.Name = "sid";
MyCookie.Value = SID;
MyCookie.HttpOnly = true;
MyCookie.Domain = ".domain.com";

// HttpCookie
HttpCook开发者_StackOverflow中文版ie MyCookie = new HttpCookie("sid");
MyCookie.Value = SID;
MyCookie.HttpOnly = true;
MyCookie.Domain = ".domain.com";

Response.Cookies.Add(MyCookie);

You are using System.Net.HttpWebResponse. But the above example uses System.Web.HttpResponse which takes System.Web.HttpCookie as a parameter.

System.Web.HttpRequest is a class used on the server and inside an ASP.NET application. It represents the incoming request from a client.

System.Net.HttpWebRequest is a class used to make an outgoing request to a web application.
