Remember Me on this Machine

[Samuel Shulman]

Hi

How can I implement a feature of 'Remember me on this computer' I believe
using cookies that next time when the user comes to the login page I can add
the Userename to the appropriate Textbox

Thank you,
Samuel

If all your looking to do is set a cookie and retrive it then its as easy
as:

Using System.Web;
Response.Cookies["username"].Value = "Fred";

and to read it back again
Response.Write(Request.Cookies["username"].Value);

There are some examples around already using forms authentication like
http://www.aspcode.net/default.aspx?p=a&i=112

I'm sure you can fish around for more.

Thank you for your response,

It doesn't seem to work on my machine

Does the following line:
Response.Cookies["username"].Value = "Fred";
suppose to save the cookie in file so it can be used in the Load event of
the Login page next time the user will try to log on

I forgot to give you the line for cookie duration

Response.Cookies["username"].Value = "Fred"
Response.Cookies["username"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(1)

That way when you try and read it back it should exist in the clients
browser cookie cache.

Have a read of the cookie guide for asp.net - it explains it all
beautifully.

I managed to write but I can't read,
Is it related to the fact that it is running on my own computer?
Is it because it is the first request?
The code is below

Thank you,
Samuel
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

'Put user code to initialize the page here

obLogin = New clsLoginManager(Session)

'Read the username from the machine

If Not IsNothing(Response.Cookies("Username")) Then

If Not IsNothing(Response.Cookies("Username").Value) Then

txtUserName.Text = Response.Cookies("Username").Value.ToString

End If

End If



End Sub

Response.Cookies["username"].Value = "Fred"
Response.Cookies["username"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(1)
