converting cookie values 1

[lfc77]

I'm creating a cookie by this method :

HttpCookie objCookie = new HttpCookie(strCookieName);
Response.Cookies.Clear();
Response.Cookies.Add(objCookie);
objCookie.Values.Add(strCookieName, strCookieValue);

But when I read the cookie, I can't convert the value (strCookieValue) to an integer. I get the error 'Input string was not in a correct format'.


Can anybody help me out with this?


Thanks,

you must be putting something in there that is not an number...what kind of values are you storing there?

The value is an integer that I converted to a string so that it met the correct signature :

objCookie.Values.Add(string, string);

show your code for reading the cookie...

 

[lfc77]

public string GetCookie(string strCookieName)
{
string strCookieValue = "";

try
{
strCookieValue = Request.Cookies[strCookieName].Value;
}
catch
{
strCookieValue = "no cookie";
}

if (Request.Cookies[strCookieName] != null)
{
return strCookieValue;
}
else
{
return "no cookie";
}
}

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
string strCookieName = "CallUK";

string strCookieValue = GetCookie(strCookieName);

if (strCookieValue == "no cookie")
{
Response.Redirect("default_new_user.aspx");
}
else
{
int intCookieValue = Convert.ToInt32(strCookieValue);

(here is where it crashes)

In your GetCookie function
try
{
strCookieValue = Request.Cookies[strCookieName].Value;
}

strCookieValue is going to have the name value pair, cookieName=cookieValue.
give this a try

try
{
HttpCookie cookie = Request.Cookies[strCookieName];
strCookieValue = cookie.Values[strCookieName];
}

strCookieValue should now just have the value

hth,
