The question seems to have been asked many times, but I can't find an answer that helped me.
I have code in the code-behind of a master page file which sets a cookie when a dropdown control is changed. If I comment out the redirect line I can see that the cookie is properly set, because creating a new cookie and outputting its value successfully displays the new value of the changed dropdown.
If I allow the redirect to take place, however, the code in the page_load will report that the cookie set is null. Any help is greatly appreciated!
protected void ThemeSelection_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
HttpCookie themeCookie = new HttpCookie("PreferredTheme");
themeCookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(3);
themeCookie.Value = ThemeSelection.SelectedValue;
Request.Cookies.Add(themeCookie);
HttpCookie cookieCheck = Request.Cookies.Get("PreferredTheme");
Response.Write(cookieCheck.Value);
Response.Redirect(Request.Url.ToString());
}
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
HttpCookie preferredTheme = Request.Cookies.Get("PreferredTheme");
if (preferredTheme == null)
{
Response.Write("PreferredTheme is null");
}
}
