How do I set cookie expiration time in C#?
I want cookies to expire when the browser is closed. I found in many blogs that giving a previous date as the expiry date will cause the cookie to automatically expire, but that is not working in my case.
I'm surprised i couldnt find any answers.
How do i set my sessionid in my cookie to expire at the end of session? (when the browser closes or the user has been inactive for a period of tie).
The two solutions i found were
(httpcookie).Expires = HttpContext.Current.Session.Timeout
Which gave me a compile error so i dont know if the user checked his code before posting. And the other was to set the expire date to 1 day ago which my gut says is wrong. How do i do this?
I have a littel problem.
In my asp.net application iam using Form FormsAuthentication.... and also use a session var to save a userID..
The problem is that ´when my session espire, the Form cooki is not expired.
I want form cooki to expire, when session expires....how?
Do i have to do it in Session_end event..
How do the code look like?
I use ASP.NET Form Authentication method in my project to keep login information as user id in user's cookie like the below code. It works well without any problem.
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(userInfo.id.ToString(), model.AutoLogin);
But the problem occurs when user use automatic login and then he change his password. In some site, I see it will force you to re-login when you change password. It's quite easy for forcing current page to log out and re-login again.
But I don't find any nice idea for forcing other auto-login cookie in other browser to login again. I have some quite ugly idea for doing that but I don't like it.
Keep latest change password date in user data.
Put it in authentication cookie like the following code.
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(userInfo.id.ToString() + '|' + userInfo.ChangePasswordDate, model.AutoLogin);
The thing is that in my web application user login form (FormsAuthenticationTicket) and a session variable which does not expire on time together ..!
I have a login page where I make a FormsAuthenticationTicket and a session ...
My problem after a little time out my session, but my FormsAuthenticationTicket not do it ..
Can I somehow do that when my session expires varbial so FormsAuthenticationTicket also will expired ..
Here in my login page and logout:

I used this following code to set authenticate cookie :
System.Web.Security.FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(Profile.Email, true);
my question is how I can increase life-time for this authentication cookie ?
how to set the cookie expiry time towards 20mins from the last request.
View 2 RepliesI'm using the following line of code to display the number of users currently logged on:
lblNoOfUsers.Text = Membership.GetNumberOfUsersOnline().ToString()
I'm still debugging my application so it's on the local server. As I debug and stop then debug again, eventually lblNoOfUsers.text turns to "0" instead of "1", even as I'm navigating my application. It only turns to "1" again if I log out and sign back in. It's almost as though Membership.GetNumberOfUsersOnline my login are referencing two different session states. How is this possible? Does asp.net create a new session state cookie each time I start debugging?
I am busy building a shopping cart with cookies. I have datalist which I populate from the cookies with a delete button next to each cookie
[Code]....
Now the problem is that when I hit the delete / remove button to expire the cookie, what happens when repopulating the datalist is that it shows the original cookie with all it's values as well as a new entry where all the values are blank.
I want to change the value in a cookie:
HttpCookie hc = new HttpCookie("HiddenColumns");
hc.Value = customView.HiddenFields;
hc.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(365);
Response.SetCookie(hc);
Or this way:
Response.Cookies["HiddenColumns"].Value = customView.HiddenFields;;
Response.Cookies["HiddenColumns"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(365);
But when I retrieve the cookie value, it is still old, unless I do postback. I don't want to use Redirect.
I'm trying to use a webservice that first expects the clients to login, to retrieve a cookie to re-use.
This is done through a login(string user, string pass) method on the webservice.
Doing this through a browser works fine, we get a cookie, and we can see the cookie via Fiddler or whatvever proxysniff thingy.
Time to do the same in ASP.Net, so we use the WSDL and generate a nice proxy class, and it works fine to call the login() method, but Never Ever does a cookie get set !
I already used the "cookiejar" technique - which means i create an instance of a CookieContainer and assign it to the proxyclass like this;
var cookies = new CookieContainer(3);
I am a bit baffled here; using IE7, ASP.NET 2.0 and Cassini (the VS built-in web server; although the same thing seems to be true for "real" applications deployed in IIS) I am looking for the session-id-cookie. My test page shows a session id (by printing out Session.SessionId) and Response.Cookies.Keys contains ASP.NET_SessionId. So far so good.
But I cannot find the cookie in IEs cookie-store! Nor does "remove all cookies" reset the session (as it does in FF)... So where - I am tempted to write that four letter word - does IE store that bloody cookie? Or am I missing something? By the way there is no hidden field with a session id either, as far as I can see. If I check in FF there is a cookie called ASP.NET_SessionId as I would expect. And as mentioned above deleting that cookie does start a new session; as I would expect.
im getting problem with session, when i'm not idle and still using webpage thes session expires I am using VS 2005
View 2 RepliesI have the following in the web.config
<sessionState cookieName="ASP.NET_SessionId" cookieless="false" mode="InProc" timeout="1" regenerateExpiredSessionId="true"/>
however, after 1 min, the session won't expire.what can cause this?
There is a timeout for Session object of HttpSessionState that can be set. I want to see if we can make HttpApplicationState timeout too?

View 11 RepliesUsing asp.net in visual studios and IIS7 when i get a host.
I have a folder full of icons that will rarely change and is used on every page. Is there a way i can set a certain directory to expire something like once every 2 or so hours so i can decrease the amount of incoming request to the server?
I have a small website with about 10 members. 5 of those are now banned.
I have ensured that they cannot login through the login page.
However because the authentication cookie is persistent and is set to expire after a few months if they return to the site they will still be logged in.
A simple solution is just to expire all authentication tickets/cookies.
I'm trying to write cookies from my website and I'm trying to figure out what implications timezones has over the HttpCookie.Expire property. Should I be passing DateTime.Now.AddDays(1) or DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(1) or the users's timezone plus a day?
View 1 RepliesI am using session variables for login and logout user . When user Signed In then i am create a seesion ["Log"] = 1 . And when user click on logout button i am use the session.RemoveAll() method .
But it does not working properly .After logout button when i click on the back button on browser then user automatically logged in and redirect to previous page .
here is my code on logout button
Session.RemoveAll();
Response.Cache.SetExpires(DateTime.UtcNow.AddMinutes(-1));
Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
This the code.
Cache.Insert(txtUserName.Text.Trim(), 1, null,
DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(1),
