Cookie doesn't work

[zmj]

I have written the following code in 2 web pages using C#

code for page 1:
//...
HttpCookie mycookie = new HttpCookie("Member");
mycookie.Values.Add("MemberID","0001");
Response.Cookies.Add(mycookie);
Response.Redirect("page2.aspx");
//...

code for page2:
//...
HttpCookie mycookie = Request.Cookies["Member"];
String MemberID = mycookie.Values["MemberID"];
//...

But when the browser goes to page2,it displays some error, and the value of
mycookie.Values["MemberID"] is nothing.
Please help me to solve this problem.
Thanks.

Your code works perfectly for me. What is the error you are talking about?

Redirect and cookies don't go together, I found.
I think that the redirect cancels all http-headers (which is
where the cookies are transferred) before setting the status to
"302 - object temporarily moved".
(another reason could be that the browser ignores everything
when it gets a status 302 - net result is the same: no cookie)

Something you could do:
don't use Response.Redirect, but send an html-page containing
<meta http-equiv=refresh content="0;URL=page2.aspx">
in the head-section (you can forget the body).
This will send a complete response to the client (including cookies)
and will redirect anyway to where you want to go.

This turns out not to be the case. "Redirect and cookies" is exactly how
Forms Authentication works.
