Use this class to create a client-side cookie. The
HttpCookie constructor takes a string representing
the name of the cookie. After creating a cookie, you can add
information to it in the form of name/value pairs by using the
HttpCookieCollection.Add( ) method as follows:
objCookies.Values.Add("Name",
"John");. Values can be retrieved by using their
name with a syntax like strName =
objCookies.Values["Name"];.
To send the cookie to the client browser as part of the HTTP
response, use the AppendCookie( ) method of the
HttpResponse class. This method stores the cookie
on the client browser. You can then retrieve a cookie from the
HttpResponse class's cookie
collection on other pages by using the cookie name, as in
Response.Cookies["NameList"]. To ensure
compatibility with all browsers, you should not store more than 4096
bytes in a single cookie.
To make a cookie persist between sessions, set the
Expires property for the
HttpCookie to a date in the future. You can also
set the Secure property to True
to restrict the cookie to Secure Socket Layer (SSL) transmission. A
cookie is much less secure than Application or Session state
variables, as information is maintained on the client and transmitted
back and forth continuously.
