MVC cookie question

Question

Hi Guys, 

I now have an application that sends an email from a Text box input. I want this email to contain a generated link that when the users click the link, it creates a cookie in their browser which will allow them access to the website and will stay persistent through sessions.

I hope this helps

You can create a cookie in MVC like this:

Response.Cookies["YourCookie"].Value = some_value'
Response.Cookies["YourCookie"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddYears(100); 

Note that cookies belong to the browser, so if the user visits using a different browser or machine, the cookie won't be there.

Hi Mike, Thank you for the reply, I was wondering in the Value = some_Value section would this be my email? 

Response.Cookies["YourCookie"].Value = some_value'
Response.Cookies["YourCookie"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddYears(100);

It can be any value that you want to store, including your email address if that's what your application requires.
