I am using cookies for my website.
I need to remove cookies immediately from browser for that i use this Code in C#
Code for removal of cookie
Response.Cookies["OptDepth"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddYears(-30);
after execution of this code if i use this code
Code to check value of deleted cookie
Request.Cookies["OptDepth"].value;
then it gives me the value of specified cookie.
I need to remove cookies immediately from browser.
How can i do this.
If we change the name of that cookie with null then it works.
Code
Request.Cookies["OptDepth"].Name = null;
Now problem is solved.
Use Simple Code to replace cookies with expiry date:
if (Request.Cookies["OptDepth"] != null)
{
HttpCookie myCookie = new HttpCookie("OptDepth");
myCookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1d);
Response.Cookies.Add(myCookie);
}
Here is an msdn detail link.Cookies
When adding a cookie ;
HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie("try");
cookie.Values["foo"] = "foo";
DateTime date = DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(-30);
cookie.Expires = date;
Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);
When Reading the cookie;
HttpCookie cookie = Request.Cookies["try"];
You will see the cookie is null.

I can't for the life of me understand what I'm doing wrong here. I've searched high and low but everything I try doesn't seem to fix.
I'm trying to create a cookie that stores the first and last name of a user. If the user goes back and changes either the first or second name it should modify these subkeys in the userName cookie. This part doesn't seem to work though?
protected void btnContinue_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (IsValid)
{
HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie("userName");
if (cookie != null)
{
Response.Cookies.Remove("userName");
cookie.Values["firstName"] = txtFirstName.Text;
cookie.Values["lastName"] = txtLastName.Text;
}
else
{
cookie.Values["firstName"] = txtFirstName.Text;
cookie.Values["lastName"] = txtLastName.Text;
}
cookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(5);
Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);
}
Response.Redirect("~/Order.aspx");
}
The way to delete cookies on the client browser is to override them, setting the expires value to a date in the past.
When you use this code:
Response.Cookies.Remove("userName");
you only delete the cookie on server, which Means it's not sent to the client. This Means the old cookie on the client is kept.
To delete the old cookie:
HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie("olduserName");
cookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1);
Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);
Here 'oldusername' contain the previous value of 'username'.
Edit:
Another way is to name your cookie with a name that doesn't change, ever, then you can simply override it with the new value, when username changes.
Edit2:
I actually made the same mistake as you did, you should use:
Response.Cookies.Set(cookie);
When using Add there can be more than one Cookie with the same name. This is most likely your problem (sorry, I did not see that before).
Edit2:
Just saw this line now:
Response.Redirect("~/Order.aspx");
You are redirecting! Then the cookies are not set on the client.
Instead you should set the cookies in "~/Order.aspx".
I don't want to show mail id in my application code. I want to give text box and what ever email id I will give it should be stored in web.config file for ever until I change it.
string store= "kumar#gmail.com";
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["MailId"] = store;
string message1 = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["MailId"];
<appSettings>
<add key="aspnet:MaxHttpCollectionKeys" value="2001"/>
<add key="MailId" value="krishnamohan.p#sun.com" />
</appSettings>
string MailID = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["MailId"];
Create a cookie
HttpCookie mailCookie= new HttpCookie("mailCookie");
Add key-values in the cookie
mailCookie.Values.Add("MailID", MailID);
set cookie expiry date-time. Keep it max value.
mailCookie.Expires = DateTime.MaxValue;
Most important, write the cookie to client.
Response.Cookies.Add(mailCookie);
Read the cookie from Request.
HttpCookie mailCookie= Request.Cookies["mailCookie"];
if (mailCookie== null)
{
//No cookie found or cookie expired.
}
Cookie is found.
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(mailCookie.Values["MailID"]))
{
string MailID= mailCookie.Values["MailID"].ToString();
}
pseudo code:
Code to ADD cookie
HttpCookie e = new HttpCookie("d");
e.Value = "set-Email-Id";
e.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(30); // expires after 30 days
HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies.Add(e);
Code to Read ( get ) cookie by it name
HttpCookie ck_d = Request.Cookies["d"];
if(ck_d!=null)
{
// logic here
}
HttpCookie Cookie = new HttpCookie("cksunlightitmailid");
Cookie.Value = txtSunlightitmailid.Text.Trim();
Cookie.Expires = DateTime.MaxValue; // never expire
HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies.Add(Cookie);
HttpCookie ck_d = Request.Cookies["cksunlightitmailid"];
if (Request.Cookies["cksunlightitmailid"] != null)
{
lblSunlightitmailid.Text = "Ur current email id :" + Request.Cookies["cksunlightitmailid"].Value;
//Or Write ur own code here
}
I have seen the persistent cookies examples in ASP.NET MVC C# here on stackoverflow.
But I can't figure out why the code below isn't working.
First I write to the cookie:
HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie("AdminPrintModule");
cookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(36);
cookie.Values.Add("PrinterSetting1", Request.QueryString["Printer1"]);
cookie.Values.Add("PrinterSetting2", Request.QueryString["Printer2"]);
cookie.Values.Add("PrinterSetting3", Request.QueryString["Printer3"]);
Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);
I see the cookies stored in Internet Explorer. The content looks OK.
Then the reading code:
HttpCookie cookie = Request.Cookies["AdminPrintModule"];
test = cookie.Values["PrinterSetting2"].ToString();
The cookie variable keeps null . Storing the PrinterSetting2 value in the test variable fails.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong because this is more or less a copy-paste from the examples here on stackoverflow. Why can't I read the PrinterSetting2 value from the cookie ?
try with below code :-
if (Request.Cookies["AdminPrintModule"] != null)
{
HttpCookie cookie = Request.Cookies["AdminPrintModule"];
test = cookie["PrinterSetting2"].ToString();
}
Have a look at this document http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/uploadfile/annathurai/cookies-in-Asp-Net/ :-
Below are few types to write and read cookies :-
Non-Persist Cookie - A cookie has expired time Which is called as
Non-Persist Cookie
How to create a cookie? Its really easy to create a cookie in the
Asp.Net with help of Response object or HttpCookie
Example 1:
HttpCookie userInfo = new HttpCookie("userInfo");
userInfo["UserName"] = "Annathurai";
userInfo["UserColor"] = "Black";
userInfo.Expires.Add(new TimeSpan(0, 1, 0));
Response.Cookies.Add(userInfo);
Example 2:
Response.Cookies["userName"].Value = "Annathurai";
Response.Cookies["userColor"].Value = "Black";
How to retrieve from cookie?
Its easy way to retrieve cookie value form cookes by help of Request
object. Example 1:
string User_Name = string.Empty;
string User_Color = string.Empty;
User_Name = Request.Cookies["userName"].Value;
User_Color = Request.Cookies["userColor"].Value;
Example 2:
string User_name = string.Empty;
string User_color = string.Empty;
HttpCookie reqCookies = Request.Cookies["userInfo"];
if (reqCookies != null)
{
User_name = reqCookies["UserName"].ToString();
User_color = reqCookies["UserColor"].ToString();
}
You must ensure that you have values in Request.QueryString.Just to check if your code works hard code values of cookies and then read from cookie.
I am trying to write cookie in ASP.NET using C# with this simple code:
HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie("UserToken");
cookie.Value = userToken.access_token; //string
cookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(1);
Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);
Cookie was build. I am using Chrome browser but the value (Konten) always empty. What's the problem?
I also try to read this cookie with this code:
if (Request.Cookies["UserToken"] != null)
string userToken = Request.Cookies["UserToken"].Value;
"UserToken" cookie is not null but the value was empty string.
Thanks in advance
I have a problem with creating HttpOnly Cookies , I use the following code to creat new cookie:
//A.aspx
HttpCookie ht = new HttpCookie("www");
ht.Value = "www";
ht.Name = "www";
ht.HttpOnly = true;
ht.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(1);
Response.AppendCookie(ht);
Response.Redirect("B.aspx");
//B.aspx
HttpCookie cookie = Request.Cookies["Allowed"];
HttpCookie htt = Request.Cookies["www"];
if (cookie != null)
{
Response.Write(cookie.HttpOnly);
Response.Write(htt.HttpOnly);
}
else
{
cookie = new HttpCookie("Allowed");
cookie.HttpOnly = true;
cookie.Value = "ping";
cookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(2);
Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);
Response.Write(cookie.HttpOnly);
Response.Write(htt.HttpOnly);
}
The problem is that the final result is always : False, although the HttpOnly property is set to True .
Can anyone explain me a way to figure this out ?
Thanx
Cookie parameters (expiration date, path, HttpOnly etc) are not sent back to the server by the browser, only the values. Sending them back would only introduce unnecessary bloat. Therefore the cookies in Request.Cookies will only contain the names and values.
If you want to see if your HttpOnly value is taking effect, use Firecookie or something similar to inspect the cookies. Or try accessing them in JavaScript - that's what it's supposed to prevent.
