ASP.NET 2.0 Cookies

[David R.]

I'm writing my own login dialog and want to store the user's info in a
cookie (for the "remember login" option). Somehow when I try to retrieve
the cookie, it keeps telling me it's null. What am I doing wrong?

From login page:

Response.Cookies["RememberMe"].Value = "Y";



From mainmenu page:

if (Request.Cookies["RememberMe"] == null)
{
// go to login page
}
else
{
if(Request.Cookies["RememberMe"].Value.ToString() == "Y")
{
// welcome back...
}
}

Cookie needs to have an expiration date in the future or it becomes an
in-memory only cookie. Create an HttpCookie object first, give it an
expiration, then add to Cookies collection.
