Creating a Cookie and Setting it

Good Evening All

i have another Question. i have created a Function that creates a Cookie with a Domain like this

Code:

---

private static void SetCookieExtedend(String key, String value, String path)
        {

            DateTime expires = DateTime.UtcNow + TimeSpan.FromDays(2000);

            bool secure = false;

            String domain = "Ecash";

            StringBuilder cookie = new StringBuilder();

            cookie.Append(String.Concat(key, "=", value));

            if (expires != null)
            {

                cookie.Append(String.Concat(";expires=", expires.ToString("R")));
            }

            if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(path))
            {
                cookie.Append(String.Concat(";path=", path));
            }

            if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(domain))
            {
                cookie.Append(String.Concat(";domain=", domain));
            }

            if (secure)
            {
                cookie.Append(";secure");
            }

            HtmlPage.Document.SetProperty("cookie", cookie.ToString());
        }

---

and its working well , i have set the Cookie and it was stored as this

Quote:

---

UserID=142;expires=Mon, 14 Nov 2016 16:58:19 GMT;domain=Ecash

---

now i want to retrieve the Value of the Cookie and i have a function that does it like this

Code:

---

public static string GetCookie(string key)
        {
            string[] cookies = HtmlPage.Document.Cookies.Split(';');
            key += '=';
            foreach (string cookie in cookies)
            {
                string cookieStr = cookie.Trim();
                if (cookieStr.StartsWith(key, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
                {
                    string[] vals = cookieStr.Split('=');

                    if (vals.Length >= 2)
                    {
                        return vals[1];
                    }

                    return string.Empty;
                }
            }

            return null;
        }

---

the Following Line comes back with an empty String

Code:

---

string[] cookies = HtmlPage.Document.Cookies.Split(';');

---

Why ?

Thanks

I don't know why that's empty, but why don't you use the cookie in the Response/Request?

Code:

---

    //set cookie
    HttpCookie cookie;
      if (Request.Cookies["uid"] == null) {
        cookie = new HttpCookie("uid");
        cookie.Domain = "mydomain";
      }
      else {
        cookie = context.Request.Cookies["uid"];
      }

      cookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddYears(30);
      cookie.Value = "myvalue"; //set single value (user id in my example)
      cookie.Values.Add("mykey", "myvalue"); //set multiple key in your example
      Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);

      //read the cookie
      long user_id = 0;
      if (Request.Cookies["uid"] != null) {
        var cookie = Request.Cookies["uid"];
        long.TryParse(cookie.Value, out user_id);

        //or in your case, use cookie.Values
      }
