Cookies

Hi,

I'm making a site in ASP.NET and I need to do the following. I have a login page where in when a user logs on, I need to store his username and email id in cookies. Later I'll need to retieve these values from other pages. So, what shall be the codes to set a coookie and retrieve it. Also, I need to check whether the client machine has disabled cookies, and if so then what all alternatives do I have apart from posting a message to enable cookies ? Thanks.

Conjurer,

Here is one way to set cookies:

Dim ASPNetCookie As New HttpCookie("ASPNetCookie&quot
Dim dt As DateTime = DateTime.Now
Dim ts As New TimeSpan(1, 0, 0)
ASPNetCookie.Expires = dt.Add(ts)
ASPNetCookie.Item("UN&quot = txtUserName.text
ASPNetCookie.Item("EMAIL&quot = txtEmail.text
Response.Cookies.Add(ASPNetCookie)

Hope this helps.
