  IE Cookies via VStudio

  Apr 06, 2012 05:50 PM|LINK

  On the login page of an app I'm building, I'm storing a cookie of the username the person enters so that it can be displayed as a default in the browser the next time.  However, I've noticed that when I close VStudio, then the cookie (stored as "cookie:robert@localhost/" in my case) disappears.

  I just wanted to be 100% clear about something: When the app is run normally on a regular server (via IIS), can I safely assume that this cookie will not disappear each time the app closes?  It's set for a 30-day expiry period and I would hope that it would last that long.

  Same Prob. with me happened and on VS2008 close Cookie Disappears

  but on IIS it was not disapearing.

  Use Expire Date :
  cookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(1);

  Login Page:
          string username = NameTextBox.Text;
          HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie("UserInfo");
          cookie["Username"] = username;
          cookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(1);
          Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);
          Response.Redirect("WelcomePage.aspx");
  
  
  
  
  and on Welcome Page LOAD:
  
  HttpCookie cookie = Request.Cookies["UserInfo"];
          if (cookie != null)
          {
              string username = cookie["Username"];
              if (username != null)
              {
                  Response.Redirect("Welcome.aspx");
                  return;
              }
          }
          Response.Redirect("Login.aspx");
