I&#39;ve previously used a CookieContainer with HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse sessions, but now, I want to use it with a WebClient. As far as I understand, there is no built-in method like there is for HttpWebRequests (`request.CookieContainer`). **How can I collect cookies from a WebClient in a CookieContainer?**

I [googled][1] for this and found [the following sample][2]:

    public class CookieAwareWebClient : WebClient
    {
        private readonly CookieContainer m_container = new CookieContainer();

        protected override WebRequest GetWebRequest(Uri address)
        {
            WebRequest request = base.GetWebRequest(address);
            HttpWebRequest webRequest = request as HttpWebRequest;
            if (webRequest != null)
            {
                webRequest.CookieContainer = m_container;
            }
            return request;
        }
    }

Is this the best way to do it?
