Hi

I am using cookie to store unique encrypted token, i want to use the cookie
expire time 8 hours.

I doing like below to expire:
Cookie.Expres = DateTime.Now.AddHours(8)

Its working in my local system as both are in same time zones. I got the
problem when I deployed my application to Server, unfortunatley this server
is in GMT time zone and my client is in GMT+5:30 time zone, So when i login
to my ASP.NET application cookie expiration is taking I hour + some minutes
more to expire. I can even see this in my cookie file expires attribute in my
local machine.

How to set cookie expire property when server and client are in diffrent
timezones.

Could anybody help me as it is become critical ?

Work with GMT, rather than local times?

Cookies can be set by the client and/or the server. Since this is an
ASP.NET newsgroup, I assume you are doing server-side setting of the
cookies. Why can't you have the server obtain the time zone of the client
(perhaps through the servervariables collection) and adjust the expiration
date/time of the cookie accordingly?
