on subsequent calls, you must explicitly create a new (empty) System.Net.CookieContainer
object and assign it to the CookieContainer
property. This allows the proxy class to store the session cookie with each call. If you want multiple proxy class instances to access the same session, or if you want to recreate a proxy class and use a previous session that has not yet timed out, you must take extra ...
