Question

No matter what I set the asp cookie expiration time as, the browser always reports the days correctly, but the time is always 12:00:00 AM. (Wednesday, January 22, 2014 12:00:00 AM)

Here is the code I am working with:

Dim UserNameCookie As New HttpCookie("Username")
    Response.Cookies.Add(UserNameCookie)
    UserNameCookie.Secure = True
    UserNameCookie.HttpOnly = True
    UserNameCookie.Expires = DateTime.Today.AddYears(1)
    UserNameCookie.Value = UserName.Text

Answer 1

The DateTime.Today property:

An object that is set to today’s date, with the time component set to 00:00:00.

Try using DateTime.Now instead:

An object whose value is the current local date and time.
