I try to add cookies to a CookieContainer.

Cookie cook1= new Cookie("aaaa", "1111", "/", "abc.com");
Cookie cook2= new Cookie("bbbb", "2222", "/", "abc.com");
CookieContainer cookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
cookieContainer.Add(cook1);
cookieContainer.Add(cook2);

However, I monitor the cookieContainer in debug mode. I found that the value in m_domainTable is [".abc.com"] but not ["abc.com"]. Why there is a "." in the beginning of the domain? and how to remove "."?

Are you talking about Winforms (as per your tag selection) or Webforms? Please clarify. – Alexander Bell Sep 02 '17 at 17:53
winforms. Thank you. – J.Y.527 Sep 02 '17 at 17:54
This is more a cookie question rather than C# or Winforms specific hence marked as duplicate, the behaviour is as designed, seems the OP is more interested in *why*. – Lloyd Sep 02 '17 at 18:00
