Safe Way To Encode A Cookie Value In C#?

State Management :: Remove Item (Cookie) From Basket (Cookie Collection)?
Sep 8, 2010I 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.
State Management :: Updating Cookie / Change The Value In A Cookie?
May 10, 2010I 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.
WCF / ASMX :: Cookie Refuses To Get Set When Asking For A Cookie From Webservice
Jun 8, 2010I'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);
Is VSS 2008 Really "safe" Was VSS 2005 "safe"?
Sep 21, 2010There is not a clear category on the site where to post this, so giving it a shot here.
Has anyone used VS 2008? I current user Turtoise for some projects, and Source Gear Valut for others.
The company where I work is thinking about moving to VSS because of the MSDN subscription.
My experience with VSS prior to VSS 2005 was that it conied the name "Visual Source Unsafe" and I know first hand that it trashed my work more that once and I stopped using it. Source Gear Valut on the other hand is rock solid.
So is VSS 2008 Really "safe" was VSS 2005 "safe" ?
How To Find The Cookie In IEs Cookie-store
Jun 14, 2010I 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.

How To Encode An Url As Base64 String
Sep 16, 2010I know that I could use HttpServerUtility.UrlTokenDecode Method to do the job. But the problem is that I am using .NET 1.1 and this method is only supported in .NET 2.0+. Also I found that Convert.ToBase64String method is not an option because of the differences addressed here. So what other options do I have? Do I have to write my own converting method?

I would have hoped that HttpUtility.UrlPathEncode would do the trick but this method only escapes spaces. I don't want to url HttpUlity.UrlEncode as this will encode "foo bar" to "foo+bar" - which ain't what I want.

How To Encode The Apostrophe Without Encoding The Code
Mar 12, 2011Have an issue with the HTML editor. Whenever somebody uses an apostophe ( ' ) in the editor and then clicks save (which will send an update to the database) it is taking the apostrophe as part of my command line and it is returning an error. I used a replace to change the apostophe into an encoded html tag but then it was changing it for all the <div> and <span> created by the editor which was causing none of the code to work. how I can encode the apostrophe without encoding the code?

Expression Encoder Doesn't Encode .3gp After Uploading?
Feb 2, 2011As I've mentioned in other threads, I have zilch experience configuring iis 5.1.
So I've been having some troubles with things that work perfectly on the vs webserver, but when I upload the project, they cease to work.
I have a project where I use expression encoder to encode video files to a format compatible with the silverlight media player . The thing is, when I encode the uploaded videos with expression in the vs bundled webserver, it encodes them Okay, no problem.
But once I upload the project, it just encodes .wmv files. I suppose it's got to be something with permissions, as When I'm working with the vs webserver I can see the ffdshow filters activate in the system tray when the videos are encoding. in the iis versions no such thing happens.
