Hi folks
I have a question about cookies. How do I store multiple values in a cookie about one product e.g. if I want to say the product
item no. 1 is a car, is a ford, is red, is a petrol
would I write it like this?
Response.Cookies("shoppingCart")(1)= "type=car&make=ford&color=red&fuel=petrol"
or is there an easier way of doing it?
Kind Regards
Oliver Dempsey

Hi Oliver,
Your way looks quite OK to me. Basically, you can create two kinds of
cookies: Flat and in an "array":
Response.Cookies("Mytest") = "Bla"
or
Response.Cookies("Mytest")("MySubCookie") = "Bla"
In your case, you'll need to store even more dimensions in a cookie, so the
only way left is to store the product attributes in the cookie value of a
subkey.
But of course a complete different approach is to not use cookies at all to
save product data. Save the product data to a database instead, and save
just the ID of the product in a cookie. That way, you won't hit the cookie
limit too fast (if at all)
Cheers,
Imar
