This is great and easy to use but what I really need is something that tells me if there allowing cookies etc. The examples only tell you that the browser is capable of these things
Any ideas?

For security reasons there is no way to absolutely determine the actual user capabilities, the best you can do is guess based upon the browser capabilities with the above code.

you can try writing a cookie, then reading it again before moving on in the code.

This is a great illustration, but I would like to see the security questions we need to ask when using WinForms and the .net framework as well as the mobile and security questions we should ask when building ASP.NET Mobile and Compact Framework (SDE) applications. Otherwise, great intro article for those just getting started.
