I want to kill a cookie. 1

[jgsteeldev]

I have an application that creates a cookie. I need to be able to destroy the cookie as well. Everything I have tried so-far only sets the cookie to expire when the session is over. Does anybody know how to destroy a cookie instrantly?

Have you tried Request.Cookies.Remove(string cookiename)?

yeah that worked. I tried Request.Cookies("cookieName').remove and it didn't work . I put the remove in the wrong place. Thanks!!!

Another approach, set the expires.
DateTime dtExpiry = DateTime.Now.AddDays(0);
Response.Cookies[cookiename].Expires = dtExpiry;

cappmgr,

I tried that method. It doesn't remove the cookie till the session expires.

I like Henryas solution.
I did not explain myself very well. To remove a cookie with the Expiries you have to create a cookie with the same name and give it an Expires time that is in the past.
