Hola all,

I'm having trouble with the following snippet of code:

	if(!wf.EmptyRecordSet(dr))
	{
		Response.Cookies["bsr"].Expires = new DateTime(2003,12,31);
		Response.Cookies["bsr"]["username"] = username.Text;
		Response.Cookies["bsr"]["password"] = password.Text;
		string un = Request.Cookies["bsr"]["username"];
		Label3.Text = un;
		//Response.Redirect("/family.index2.aspx");
	}
	else
		Label3.Text = "Invalid Login... Try Again";

the code compiles just fine, but I'm either not storing anything in the
cookie or trying to access the cookie's value incorrectly because all i'm
getting back is a blank string (not null, though.)

Any pointers?

BTW, I would prefer to use a jar to hold my cookies in (to keep them
separate across multiple sites that i develope), but if I can't that's okay
to.

TIA,
Be Well,
Ben

Ben, 
You're missing a few key lines of code.
Try this


Response.Cookies["bsr"].Expires = new
DateTime(2003,12,31);
Response.Cookies["bsr"]["username"] =username.Text;
Response.Cookies.Add(bsr);

HttpCookie myCookie = Request.Cookies["bsr"];
string un= myCookie.Values["username"];

Hope this helps,
Elissa
