Cookie - postback

[Guest]

User chooses language in which he wishes to continue, this is stored in a
cookie
(so next time he comes back he doenn't have to choose his lang again)

on every page I have a user control with three linkbuttons where he can
change the lang in which he works
so the value of the cookie should be changed
but after PostBack, I still get the old value...

//Code of Main page
Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e){
string vLang = fCookieLang();
//rest of code...

}

public string fCookieLang()
{
HttpCookie cookie = Request.Cookies["LANG"];
if(null == cookie){
return null;

}else{
return cookie.Value.ToString();
}
}

//code of linkbutton
HttpCookie cookie = Request.Cookies.Get("LANG");
cookie.Value = "NL";


anybody knwos what's happening?

Response.Cookies("LANG") = "NL"
Response.Cookies("LANG").Expires = "January 15, 2009"

well not for me...

figured out that it has something to do with PostBack or not...

Response.Cookies("LANG") = "NL"
Response.Cookies("LANG").Expires = "January 15, 2009"
works for me!

In your example, you get vLang in the Page_Load event. The LinkButton will
occur after that, so the value of vLang will remain unchanged until next
postback.

I am using this way of work to be able to display my menu-items in different
languages, so it should happen in the PageLoad event

or doesn't it ?

it used to work with Request.Params[LAngcode]
