Ray,
Exactly. The browser will not send the expiration date of the cookie
back to the server (I don't know why). So trying to read
Request.Cookies["demo"].Expires will never work.
If you only need to know if the cookie has expired or not, the
browser takes care of that by not sending the cookie if it has
expired. However, if you need to know how much time is remaining
before the cookie expires, then you probably need to store another
expiration date in a cookie value so you can read it:
Response.Cookies["demo].Values["expiration_date"] = ...
and
daysx.Text = Convert.ToString(
Request.Cookies["demo"].Values["expiration_date"]);
Hope this helps.
Chris.
