Cookie not created

Question

Hi there if have the following code:

protected void btnAdmLogin_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
        DBDataContext dc = new DBDataContext();

        try
        {
            PortalUser login = dc.PortalUsers.Single(q => q.UserName.Equals(txtAdmLoginEmail.Text) && q.Password.Equals(txtAdmLoginPassw.Text));

            if (HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies["Cookie"] == null)
            {
                HttpCookie adcookie = new HttpCookie("Cookie");
                adcookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddHours(24);
                adcookie.Value = login.UserName + "-" + 1;
                adcookie.Name = "Cookie";
                HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies.Add(adcookie);
            }

                HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect("Overview");

        }

What is the wrong part In here? Its not creating anything.

Answer 1

You should add the cookie to the Response object and not the Request object

  HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies.Add(adcookie);
