Issue with Cookies not getting deleted even after setting a previous date in expires property

I am using the following to delete the contents of a cookie

Response.Cookie s("maincookie") .expires = DateAdd("d",-2,now)
Response.redire ct "login.asp"

If i try to alert the value of the cookie in the same page, it shows
the old value. As well as when it is alerted from the login.asp it
shows the old value.
The problem is when i try to update the value of the cookie in the
login page, it does not update the new value.
Only if i close the browser and reopen, the new value gets updated and
even if the old value is originally present in the cookie.
I am specifying the domain and path when creating the cookie. the
expires property is set to date + 1 when creating.

What should be done to delete the contents of the cookie? Should i
specify the domain as well as path when changing the expires property?
Thanks in advance

I suspect the page/site info is being cached. Try putting the "no cache"
code into your page(s).

Thanks for your response.
I have the "no cache" code already in the files.
The main problem is that as soon as i update the value of the cookie
and alert it.. its shows updated value.. but in the following pages it
still uses the old value unless i close the browser and re-open.

Hi... I've come across some weird bug with Response.Cookies. Or maybe it will be called "by design" but for the life of me I can't figure out what purpose it would serve. If you're setting a cookie (say Response.Cookies ("TEST")) and you have a query string variable &test=x or &Test=x and you get Request.QueryString to parse the query string, the cookie that gets dropped matches the case of the query string, not what your code says. ...

I've never done anything with cookies. What I'm trying to do is very straight-forward, but for some reason, it just doesn't seem to want to work. I have a helper class with some static methods. Two are for setting and getting the name of the user to/from a cookie: public static string GetSiteUser(HttpRequest request) { HttpCookie userCookie = request.Cookies; if (null == userCookie || null == userCookie.Value) {

I have a two stage Registration page ( register.aspx ) and my target page ( MyPage.aspx ) I'm using a cookie named LoginStatus to tract the stage of the login process.
