What kind of cookie do you want?
The Request and Response objects have a CookieCollectio n for you to set and view cookies.

Hi All,

I have done a bit changes and add cookie in login page and read cookie "UserName" in Dashboard2.aspx .
But there is a problem logout... because the cookie still exist and read even i did't login. Is there any code to kill or erase the cookie while logout?

[HTML]public partial class Dashboard2 : System.Web.UI.P age
{
protected void Page_Load(objec t sender, EventArgs e)
{

if (Request.Cookie s["UserName"] == null)
{
//The cookie is not available go on without it.
AuthenticatedMe ssagePanel.Visi ble = false;

AnonymousMessag ePanel.Visible = true;
}
else
{
//Cookie is still there let's read it.
string sUserName = Request.Cookies["UserName"].Value;
Label1.Text = "Welcome back, " + sUserName + " !";

AuthenticatedMe ssagePanel.Visi ble = true;

AnonymousMessag ePanel.Visible = false;
}

}[/HTML]

Why not just use the Session object, that's what its there for

That is EXACTLY what the session is used for....

Listen to him. Session is made to store objects for the duration of a user's session. Why try to shoehorn cookies into something they're not, when you have an object tailor made to your needs?

I will try to do using session...
Thank you.
