Hi Anand,

Just Checkout these sample and rectify your code, let me no if have any problem

in order to handle a cookie in your system you should aware of 2 thing:

1-how to create them

2- how to delete them

so,first in order to create a cookie you have 2 variable must be defined as they are the cookie name and the duration of the cookie before it expired
- in order to create a cookie it looks like this one
////////////SET THE COOKIE//////////////

Response.Cookies["test"].Value = UserName.Text ;

Response.Cookies["test"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddYears(30);

where test is the cookie name

and the username.text is the textbox that will be used to define the cookies information
- in order to delete a cookie use this
Response.Cookies["test"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddYears(-30);

in order to check whether the cookie is found or not and retrieve the cookies information use this

/////////check to see if cookie presented//////////

if (Request.Cookies["test"] == null)

TextBox2.Text = "No cookie found";

else

TextBox2 .Text = Request.Cookies["test"].Value;

/////////END check to see if cookie presented//////////
