Cookies

A Cookie is a small text file that the browser creates and stores on the hard drive of your machine. Cookie is just one or more pieces of information stored as text strings.

It is used to store the data’s temporarily.

The System.Web namespace offers a class called HttpCookie to create Cookies

Page 1

Response.cookies(“mycook”) (“name”) = Textbox1.text

Page 2

Dim DD as string

DD = request.cookies.item(“mycook”).value

User.Identity.Name is used to read the identity that is stored in the authentication cookie

Session

A session is defined as the period of time that a unique user interacts with a Web application. (We can create Time Allocation and Time Scheduling)

Page 1

Session (“Myses”) = Textbox1.text
Response.redirect (“webform2.aspx”)

Page 2

Textbox1.text = Session (“Myses”)

Default session time out is 20 minutes
