Cookie mysteriously loses value!

daz_oldham

Hi All

I have been working fine on my project, and now all of a sudden one of
my cookies is losing its value for no reason at all.

I am doing my get/set in the following way:

Response.Cookies["Flight"]["SearchCriteriaID"]
Request.Cookies["Flight"]["SearchCriteriaID"]

I have gone through my code several times, but cant spot what I am
doing wrong. Does anybody have any pointers?

Thanks

Darren

If you do not set an expiration time on your cookie, it will be an
"in-memory" only cookie.

Hi Peter

And I presume that as with ASP, the cookie will live for the length of
the session - which is exactly what I want to do.

Is there any issues between in-memory cookies and different
sub-directories?

I really can't understand why some of my cookies are keeping their
values, and others aren't. I've got around eight cookies.

Thanks for the assistance.
