retrieving values in cookie

GreenHell

Using asp.net and vb

Right, I want to add the url of a page to a cookie, then I want to retrieve that info on another page. How can I do this?

WoodyWoodPecker

its along the lines of ,

Set cookie code

HttpCookie cookUserInfo = new HttpCookie("UserInfo");
cookUserInfo["txtsetCookie"] = Request.Url.AbsoluteUri;
cookUserInfo.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(1);
Response.Cookies.Add(cookUserInfo);


Get cookie code

HttpCookie cookUserInfo = Request.Cookies["UserInfo"];
txtgetCookie.Text = cookUserInfo["txtsetCookie"]; //Read value to text box on page


Note
this stores all the info. on the client but there are ways to store info on the server and just an ID on the client

also what if the clients browser doesn't accept cookies then you need to fall back to storing the client ID in the URL for every call

if you need any of these do a few googles or just in the help lookup the class HttpCookie and it will have loads of links

You can do it client side with javaScript also
