Hi,

I have created a main cookie say "MAINCOOKIE" and with that I keep adding the dynamic cookies into "MAINCOOKIE". I want to delete only the selected cookie from the list of cookies either server side or Client side. I tried clearing in server side, I am able to clear the entire MAINCOOKIE whereas I am not able to clear a particular cookie which is inside "MAINCOOKIE" only in IE, It works finein FF. So I tried deleting from clientside, but I find no option to delete the specific cookie from the "MAINCOOKIE"

Thanks in advance

This is how i add my cookie

if (Request.Cookies["MainCookie"] != null)
                       {
                           if (Request.Cookies[MainCookie].Values["subcookie_" + productId] != null)
                           {
                               existingProductId = productId;
                               existingCookie = Request.Cookies["MainCookie"].Values["subcookie_" + productId].ToString();
                               string[] splitCookie = existingCookie.Split('$');
                               quantity += Convert.ToInt32(splitCookie[1]);
                               isCookieExistAlready = true;
                               HttpCookie aCookie;
                               aCookie = new HttpCookie(Request.Cookies["MainCookie"].Values["subcookie_" + productId]);
                               aCookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1);
                           }
                       }
                       else
                       {
                           HttpCookie mainCookie = new HttpCookie("MainCookie");
                           Response.Cookies.Add(mainCookie);
                       }
                       string nameofCookie = string.Concat("subcookie_", (isCookieExistAlready ? existingProductId : productId));
                       Request.Cookies["MainCookie"].Values[nameofCookie] = productId + "$" + quantity;
                       Request.Cookies["MainCookie"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(1);
                       Response.Cookies.Add(Request.Cookies["MainCookie"]);

After Adding I want to delete only particular subcookie from the Maincookie
How do I do that?
