Cookie Basics

[Greg Smith]

I am learning to create cookies. When I do something like this:

Response.Cookies["Username"].Value = "fred";

Response.Cookies["Username"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddYears(30);



I get a cookie with the name of the host in it, i.e.. greg@localhost or
greg@myServerDNS.

I would like to give it a specific name. Is there a way to do so?





Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Greg,

See the examples here:
http://www.codetoad.com/asp.net/cookies.asp

If you are making apps with ASP.NET, and using cookies to persist (remember)
values in parts of your app, ASP.NET's "Viewstate" feature can substitute
for cookies in many instances. ASP.NET has a bunch of other mechanisms for
persisting state that aren't a part of other application frameworks like
Classic ASP or PHP. Google around on "state management ASP.NET" if you're
interested.
