Cookie Trouble --> disappearing

[dave]

I have 2 pages... in the first page i check to see for
the existance of the cookie, if found do something else
set the value and set the cookie.
(cookie gets set ok)

I use the following code to read and write the cookie..
READ..
Dim stmp As String
Dim c As HttpCookie =
HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies("HD")
If Not c Is Nothing Then
stmp = c(Key)
Else
stmp = ""
End If
Return stmp

WRITE
Dim c As New HttpCookie("HD")
c("DialogTypeID") = DialogTypeID.ToString
c.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddYears(1)
HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies.Add(c)



Now i navigate to a second page which looks for a cookie
of a differnt name and reads the value. The following
code...

Dim stmp As String
Dim c As HttpCookie =
HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies("HD2")
If Not c Is Nothing Then
stmp = c(Key)
Else
stmp = ""
End If
Return stmp

Now when i navigate back to the first page the first
cookie is gone. I look in my localhost cookies and it is
no longer in the cookie file. PLEASE tell me what is
going on.

please.
thank you in advance...

Hi,

if you dont set any of the cookies properties (Domain,Expires...) the
default is that cookie will be available for the current page. if you
navigate to other page the cookie die. when you use the Back button the
browser use cache version of the page. no call is made to the server so
no new cookie creat and the old one already vanished.

You are absolutely right and I’m WRONG! I guess I was confused at this
time, not to mention that dave set the expiration time. sorry!

DId you also "write" cookies in the second web form? Additionally, when
will you write the cookies, after find that stmp is empty?
