Cookies will get deleted, no matter what

[Guest]

Easy to describe that problem: The cookies will be deleted after the user
closes the browser, but I have set persistance to true. Code:

------

TicketForPremium = new FormsAuthenticationTicket(1, UserID, DateTime.Now,
DateTime.Now.AddHours(10), true, "1");
TicketForPremiumCrypted = FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(TicketForPremium);

Response.Cookies.Add(new HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName,
TicketForPremiumCrypted));
-------

I've tested local (win2000, IIS 5) and on a server (win2003, IIS 6) and
with different browsers (IE, firefox, opera) and the results are always the
same.

I am using .net 1.1

cookies are session cookies if no expiration date has been set. your code
does not set an expiration date for the cookie (only to the session data),
so its a session cookie. try:

HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie(
FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName,
TicketForPremiumCrypted);
cookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddHours(10), // persist cookie
Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);
