Below is the code to save the cookie and set the expiry date of the cookie

Response.Cookies["demo"].Value ="Hello";
DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
TimeSpan ts = new TimeSpan(0,0,10,0);
Response.Cookies ["demo"].Expires = dt.Add(ts);

Below is the code to retrieve the stored cookie.

if (!Page.IsPostBack) {
       HttpCookie dcookie = Request.Cookies["demo"];
       if (dcookie != null) {
                 urlevel.Text = dcookie.Values["level"];
         urname.Text = dcookie.Values["user"];
         daysx.Text = Convert.ToString(Request.Cookies["demo"].Expires);
        }
       else
             Response.Redirect ("haha.htm");
   }

When I display the Response.Cookies ["demo"].Expires = dt.Add(ts); it returns the current date + 10 minutes
But the days.Text returns 01/01/0001. Why? Please help Thanks.
