.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / August 2007Cookie problem
Maybe I don't understand cookies correctly. When some visits my site and logs in, they get a cookie that stores their login information. When they come back, that info is read from the cookie and they can log in without having to remember their id/pw. Assume the site is www.foobar.com It works as long as they browse to www.foobar.com. If they browse to foobar.com it doesn't see the cookie. It they browse to www.foobar.com/Stuff.aspx, it doesn't see the cookie. What am I missing? Do I need to store the cookie differently? Response.Cookies("CookieName").Value = tmpObject.Text.Trim Response.Cookies("CookieName").Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(1000) The cookie looks fine - I checked it through the browsers (IE 6 and FireFox).

If you want the cookie to be visible on your whole site, you must set the path to "/". http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.cookie.path.aspx HTH, Laurent  SignatureLaurent Bugnion [MVP ASP.NET] Software engineering, Blog: http://www.galasoft.ch PhotoAlbum: http://www.galasoft.ch/pictures Support children in Calcutta: http://www.calcutta-espoir.ch Well, there can be a problem if the path is set in anything different from "/", There shouldn't be a problem if the path is not set at all. At the msdn states: If this property is not specified, then this Cookie will be sent to all pages on the origin server or servers.

Anyway, the symptom being that the cookie is not visible on all pages, this rather points to a problem with the Path.

And I am not specifying it. So what's the problem?

On the client side, when you watched document.cookie, what does the cookie string look like, and is the "path" part set? HTH, Laurent SignatureLaurent Bugnion [MVP ASP.NET] Software engineering, Blog: http://www.galasoft.ch PhotoAlbum: http://www.galasoft.ch/pictures Support children in Calcutta: http://www.calcutta-espoir.ch Sorry, Laurent. I meant "What's the problem with my cookie". I wasn't flaming you. My bad!

YOu said you checked the cookie in IE and Netscape, you mean you watched the "document.cookie" JavaScript variable? Or what method did you use? If you can, post the "document.cookie" string which is stored in the client. You can do that using JavaScript in your web page. It would be helpful to see what is really sent to the client, not just the high-level API calls in ASP.NET.
