ASP.NET Cookie madness

Anyone clued in with ASP.NET cookie handling?

I'm setting a Response.Cookie, which works great. However, as soon as I load a different page (to the one that sets it) the cookie gets erased- looking in the headers I can see that it's manually setting "looktolooksettings=;" - i.e. emptying out the cookie.

I can't see any code that's causing this. Is there some mental internal ASP.NET thing that deliberately eats up cookies? It's set with a 30 day expiry, which appears fine. I no understand.

Have you heard of "slobber"? Do you tend to think of it as a positive term? Because the one thing that dogs can be trusted to do, besides thumping gaseous dead rats out their ass and besides biting everybody, is to slobber all over themselves and you. You need to do some serious thinking about whether a dog is really what you need in your life right now.

OK, found my answer. For anyone from Google or whatever, turns out that doing: csharp code: if (Response.Cookies["blah"] != null) won't work. Merely checking for the cookie in fact CREATES one with an empty value. Hurrrrr Have you heard of "slobber"? Do you tend to think of it as a positive term?
