Share Cookie value between asp and aspx pages

I have an application which has both asp and aspx pages. in one of my asp page say login page am storing the loginid in cookie. i am not able to read or write this cookie value from my aspx page
like i used
response.Cookies("member_id") = member_id in asp page

and in aspx page

Response.write(request.cookies("member_id"))
but im not getting any values written

can anyone help me with this

Thanx in adavance

You need to set the response.Cookies("Member_ID").path property so its below the asp and aspx page...

If you dont set this property it will default to the ASP path and if the aspx path is in another folder it wont be able to see it

Hope this helps

You need to set the path like this...

response.Cookies("Member_ID").path = "/mypath"

Setting a Virtual Path for the Cookie
The Path property sets the path that this cookie pertains to. The cookie will only be retrieved from the client if pages are retrieved from the directory set by Path.

The syntax for setting the Path property of a cookie is:

Response.Cookies("CookieName").Path = /VirtualPathThe following sets the cookie's path.

Response.Cookies("User").Path = "/customers"

If the Path property is not specified it will be set to the directory where the cookie was created. Setting a Path of root, "/", causes the cookie to be sent to the server throughout the site.

Here is the long version :)
