Read/Write Cookie in a Module

[Larry Rebich]

How do I read and write a cookie in an ASP.Net module?

I can get this code to work in an aspx.vb class but not in a regular VB
module:

Response.Cookies.Add(c)

Response is not a recognized command in the module. I've tried importing
System.Web into the module but that is not allowed.

What I'm trying to do is centralize cookie processing. Perhaps there is a
better way.

Cheers,
Larry Rebich

Larry,
Have you tried using

HttpContext.Current.Response?

if this is not null, then your HttpModule has access to the current Context,
along with the Request, Response, Server, Session etc. objects.

Response is not a command. It's a property of the Page object. I suggest
that you take some time and study the object model of ASP.NET and
generally learn about object oriented programming in VB.NET. The words
you use (module, command) hint that you learned VB or VBA, and VB.NET is
a very different animal.

Enjoy,
Laurent

Response is certainly a property of the Page class, but it is also a property
of the current HttpContext, which does NOT require a Page to be present, and
which can be made available in HttpHandlers and HttpModules.

Totally. My answer was referring to the OP's specific question, in which
he states that his code runs in a ASPX.VB file.

L,
This is what the OP stated:
"I can get this code to work in an aspx.vb class but not in a regular VB
module:

Response.Cookies.Add(c)"

I interpret this to mean that he is trying to get cookies in either a
non-page based class, or an HttpModule (he says he "can" get it working in an
aspx.vb class).
Hence, my clarifying post.
Cheers and good posting,

Peter

Oh, OK. I see what you mean. On my side, I wanted to explain to him why
it was working in the Page but not outside of it (because in the Page,
Response is a property) ;-)

Anyway, it's not that relevant to the topic, the main point being that
you cannot program ASP.NET like you used to program VB or VBA.

Greetings,
Laurent
