Cookie Not Saved 1

[kentover]

I have gone through many threads to try and correct my code but it seems the same as the solutions suggested. I am getting no errors and have stepped through the code. Each line seems to be executed but ultimately the cookie is not created. Here is the code:

Dim Cookie As HttpCookie
If Request.Cookies("StoreUserID") Is Nothing
Cookie = New HttpCookie("StoreUserID")
Cookie.Values.Add("UserID",cstr(intUsrID))
Cookie.Values.Add("UserLgn",LoginID.Text)
Cookie.Values.Add("UserPswd",UserPwd.Text)
'Response.Cookies.Add(Cookie)
Response.AppendCookie(Cookie)
end if

Have you looked at the raw http headers the page is returning? Depending on your browser, it may do this for you, but if all else fails, you can just "telnet webserver:80" and type "GET page.aspx" and see what comes back. The very top should be a list of headers, some of which are cookies.

Though to be honest, I've never actually formally made a cookie object. It seems to do fine creating it on its own.

If Request.Cookies("StoreUserID") Is Nothing
    Response.Cookies("StoreUserID")("UserID") = cstr(intUsrID)
    Response.Cookies("StoreUserID")("UserLgn") = LoginID.Text
    Response.Cookies("StoreUserID")("UserPswd") = UserPwd.Text
End If

I guess if you don't explicitly set an expiration for the cookie, it's probably just a session cookie. The http headers should tell you that, too.

When debugging your current code, does the Response.Cookies collection contain your new cookie after you create and add it?

Try this:

If Request.Cookies("StoreUserID") Is Nothing Then
    Dim Cookie As HttpCookie = New HttpCookie("StoreUserID")
    Cookie.Values("UserID") = CStr(intUsrID)
    Cookie.Values("UserLgn") = LoginID.Text
    Cookie.Values("UserPswd") = UserPwd.Text
    Cookie.Expires = System.DateTime.Now.AddDays(1)
    Response.Cookies.Add(Cookie)
End If

You guys are great! It was the combination of the two answers. Thank you for your help. Here is the code.


Response.Cookies("StoreUserID")("UserID") = cstr(intUsrID)
Response.Cookies("StoreUserID")("UserLgn") = LoginID.Text
Response.Cookies("StoreUserID")("UserPswd") = UserPwd.Text
Response.Cookies("StoreUserID").Expires = System.DateTime.Now.AddDays(1)
