Delete cookie issue in C#

asp.net, c#, cookies

Solution

SOLVED

Problem was the path. The cookie I request was under "/store" path and the one I response path information to "/".

if (Request.Cookies["dcart"] != null)
{
   HttpCookie myCookie = new HttpCookie("dcart");
   myCookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1d);
   myCookie.Path = "/store";
   Response.Cookies.Add(myCookie);
}

When I added path information, it's deleted.

Note: I used Firebug to trace the cookie path.

Problem

I'm trying to delete a cookie, however it doesn't get deleted. Here is the code I try to use. ``` if (Request.Cookies["dcart"] != null) { Response.Write(Request.Cookies["dcart"].Expires); // Response 1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM Response.Write(Request.Cookies["dcart"].Value); // Response 229884 HttpCookie myCookie = new HttpCookie("dcart"); myCookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1d); myCookie.Value = ""; Response.Cookies.Add(myCookie); } Response.Write(Request.Cookies["dcart"].Expires); // Response 1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM Response.Write(Request.Cookies["dcart"].Value); // Response 229884 ``` When I retrieve the cookie again, nothing changes. I check w/ FireFox and Chrome same behavior. Interesting point is that expiration date shows correctly on the browsers but on the code. I tried followings and didn't work. - Set expiration day to (tomorrow) and again set it for yesterday. - Restart the browser (happens different browsers and people) - Set the value something - Use HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies["dcart"].... - Request.Cookies["dcart"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddYears(-10); PS. The code won't work directly on your machine, because you don't have the cookie.
