Question

I am having a cookie problem in the below example. the cookie does get created and when i put a debug point after its creation i can check whats in the cookie with a watch. however, when i restart the website, the cookie is still there, but has become empty and will not create the model (all fields empty are null.)

I looked around and found bugs relating to using response.Cookie and having no expiry date, but i changed things around and it stays empty. Am i doing something wrong or is this because im using localhost?

    [HttpGet]
    [Autorize]
    public ActionResult ManagePaymentRun()
    {
            ViewData["currentAction"] = "Index";
            payments.AccountNo = Request.Cookies["FSCSPayments"]["AccountNo"];
            payments.SortCode = Request.Cookies["FSCSPayments"]["SortCode"];
            payments.FirstChequeNo = "2";// Request.Cookies["FSCSPayments"]["FirstChequeNo"]; 
            payments.FileName = Request.Cookies["FSCSPayments"]["FileName"];
            payments.FRN = Request.Cookies["FSCSPayments"]["FRN"];
            payments.JobNumber = Request.Cookies["FSCSPayments"]["JobNumber"];
            payments.StartRecNo = Request.Cookies["FSCSPayments"]["StartRecNo"]; 
            return View(payments);
    }

    internal void CreateCookie()
    {

        HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie("FSCSPayments");
        cookie.Values.Add("AccountNo", payments.AccountNo);
        cookie.Values.Add("SortCode", payments.SortCode);
        cookie.Values.Add("FirstChequeNo", payments.FirstChequeNo);
        cookie.Values.Add("FileName", payments.FileName);
        cookie.Values.Add("FRN", payments.FRN);
        cookie.Values.Add("JobNumber", payments.JobNumber);
        cookie.Values.Add("StartRecNo", payments.StartRecNo);
        cookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(14);
        cookie.Path = "/";
        Request.Cookies.Add(cookie);
    }

Answer 1

This problem is solved and was due to the fact that i used IIS 5 and MVC. we copied this project over to a IIS7 pc now and we got the cookies working.
