Question

I have a function that checks if a cookie (by name) exists or not:

Private Function cookieExists(ByVal cName As String) As Boolean     For Each c As HttpCookie In Response.Cookies         If c.Name = cName Then Return True     Next     Return False End Function 

I have a class that handles cookies in an application-specific manner, and I want to consolidate all the cookie-related functions to this class. However, I cannot use this code if I simply move it from the aspx page (where it currently resides) to the aforementioned class because I get the error: 'Name' Response is not declared. I modified the class to allow the passing of a reference to the Response object:

Public Function cookieExists(ByVal cName As String, ByRef Response As HttpResponse) As Boolean     For Each c As HttpCookie In Response.Cookies         If c.Name = cName Then Return True     Next     Return False End Function 

My question is: Is there a better way?

HttpContext.Current.Response HttpContext.Current.Request
