Hello,
I have design a windows application. I wrote a code to set cookie in windows application which set cookies after login success is as follows:

C#

HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie("Email");
cookie.Value = txtusername.Text;

DateTime dtNow = DateTime.Now;
cookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddYears(1);
Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);

but it showing error on Cookies in last line[Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);]
which is :'string' does not contain a definition for 'Cookies' and no extension method 'Cookies' accepting a first argument of type 'string' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

So what I have to do to remove this error.

Thanks,

The problem is here:
"I have design a windows application.
...
Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);"

Windows applications do not have or use Cookies - only web sites do that.

Depending on whet you want to do, there are other ways, but most likely you need to think fairly carefully about how your application is designed: WinForms apps do not behave in any way line web sites!

So how I can add the value of email id in session or cookies.

OriginalGriff 24-Mar-14 5:47am

You can't.
Windows applications do not have any concept of Session or of Cookies - they do not exist.
You need to relearn how to work - it isn't as simple as "tweak the user interface" and it'll work: it's a completely different way of thinking.

Oh, and before you ask: no, windows applications don't normally use Javascript either.

can we do this with htmlpage.htm or webbrowser1

OriginalGriff 24-Mar-14 7:47am

Why?
There are better, more windows ways to do these things.
What you are trying to do is force something into a shape you are familiar with, regardless of whether that is a good thing to do or not - and it isn't!
The range of possibilities for windows apps is much, much larger, and much, much more flexible.

I have design a add-on for IE in which I have code for user login and I wants to store the user email address until he not logged out or close the IE tab.
