.NET Framework Class Library
CookieParameter Class

Updated: July 2008

Binds the value of a client-side HTTP cookie to a parameter object. The parameter can be used in a parameterized query or command to select, filter, or update data.

Namespace:  System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly:  System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
<AspNetHostingPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Level := AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)> _
<AspNetHostingPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, Level := AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)> _
Public Class CookieParameter _
    Inherits Parameter
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As CookieParameter
C#
[AspNetHostingPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)]
[AspNetHostingPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)]
public class CookieParameter : Parameter
Visual C++
[AspNetHostingPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction::LinkDemand, Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel::Minimal)]
[AspNetHostingPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction::InheritanceDemand, Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel::Minimal)]
public ref class CookieParameter : public Parameter
JScript
public class CookieParameter extends Parameter
Remarks

You can use the CookieParameter class to bind the value of a client-side HTTP cookie passed as part of an HTTP request to a parameter used by ASP.NET data source controls.

The CookieParameter class provides the CookieName property, which identifies the name of the HttpCookie object to bind to, in addition to those inherited from the Parameter class. The CookieParameter class attempts to bind to the named cookie every time the Evaluate method is called.

Important noteImportant Note:

Controls that bind data to the parameter might throw an exception if a CookieParameter object is specified, but no corresponding cookie is passed with the HTTP request. Similarly, they might display no data if the cookie is passed with nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). Set the DefaultValue property to avoid these situations where appropriate.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use a SqlDataSource control and CookieParameter object bound to an HTTP cookie to display data from the Northwind Traders database in a GridView control.
