remember my user name

[Brian Henry]

I want to make a login form, but have a checkbox with a "remember user name"
option to create a cookie on their system to save their user name and place
it into the username text box when they visit the site, how to go about
implementing this? any examples out there? thanks!

Have you checked with the ASP.NET newsgroup? Just off the top of my head, I
would save a token value (possibly encrypted?) in the cookie and when the
user returns, pull their username out of a record, referenced by the token
value in the cookie, from a database. I wouldn't store username or any
other settings in the cookie itself, as someone might decide to reverse
engineer it at some point... Just my thoughts, but I'm not sure what the
best practices on that are...

Brian,

accidently sent this to this group, ment it to go to aspnet

When you are using the VBNet language for your Aspnet application than is
this as well the right newsgroup.

My answer would have been the same as from Michael by the way.
