I forgot to give you the line for cookie duration

Response.Cookies["username"].Value = "Fred"
Response.Cookies["username"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(1)

That way when you try and read it back it should exist in the clients
browser cookie cache.

Have a read of the cookie guide for asp.net - it explains it all
beautifully.

Thank you for your response,

It doesn't seem to work on my machine

Does the following line:
Response.Cookies["username"].Value = "Fred";
suppose to save the cookie in file so it can be used in the Load event of
the Login page next time the user will try to log on

If all your looking to do is set a cookie and retrive it then its as easy
as:

Using System.Web;
Response.Cookies["username"].Value = "Fred";

and to read it back again
Response.Write(Request.Cookies["username"].Value);

There are some examples around already using forms authentication like
http://www.aspcode.net/default.aspx?p=a&i=112

I'm sure you can fish around for more.

Hi

How can I implement a feature of 'Remember me on this computer' I
believe using cookies that next time when the user comes to the login
page I can add the Userename to the appropriate Textbox

Thank you,
Samuel
