How To Create A Remember Me Cookie

Aug 14th, 2005

I am using aspx.vb to create a login page. I would like to create a remember me cookie using a checkbox that will help to remember user ID but will also allow it to be destroy if a different user ID wants to log in with the same computer, but i have no idea how to start. Any assistance? Thank you! :cry:

You might start with Forms Authentication in .NET. It automates the "remember me" cookie with the following method call.

 ASP.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(userName, saveLogin);
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(userName, saveLogin);

Here's a place to begin learning more:
MSDN Documentation for SetAuthCookie Method
