Cookies do not seem to save

[jmeckley]

I have a form that creates a cookie and saves it to the users computer. The user is then redirected to another page.

Depending on options in the cookie cretain objects will be visible.

Here is my code
FORM 1

Dim Cookie As New HttpCookie("AnswerService")
Dim Pwd As String = txtPwd.Text

Cookie.Values.Add("Pwd", Pwd)
Response.Cookies.Add(Cookie)
Response.Redirect("../")

FORM2

If Request.Cookies("AnswerService") Is Nothing Then 'no cookie (web pledge)
    chkBillMe.Visible = False
    rfvBillMe.Visible = False
Else 'cookie = test for answer service
    Dim Cookie As HttpCookie = Request.Cookies("AnswerService")
    
    If Cookie.Item("Pwd") = "123" Then 'hide cc and exp date validation
        rfvCC_1.Visible = False
        rfvExpMonth.Visible = False
        rfvExpYear.Visible = False
        rfvExpDate.Visible = False
    Else 'not answering service
        chkBillMe.Visible = False
        rfvBillMe.Visible = False
    End If
End If

This code will work while the broswer is open. But When I close the browser and open it back up the code executes as if no cookie is present. What am I missing in my code?

I am using VS 2003 with .Net Framework 1.1

So It's working now. I am using Response.AppendCookie instead of Response.Cookie.Add. I also added an expiration date of Date.MaxValue. Seems to do the trick.

Hi Jason,

Can you post your code for setting the cookie.
Im having trouble and cookies really wind me up some time!
