how do I access request.cookies in controller of MVC pattern(asp.net)

Question

Hi,

I am new to MVC pattern, trying to get Userid stored in cookies via common controller file, which I can access throughout the site.

I have FunctionsController as a controller with content as follows.

public static int loggedinUser() { return Convert.ToInt32( request.Cookies["userid"].Value); }

I am unable to request any cookies items even if I tried with

HttpRequestBase request = controllerContext.HttpContext.Request;

Please guide me. Thanks Anil

Answer 1

I don't have a problem accessing cookies in ASP.NET MVC using a standard access statement such as:

Request.Cookies["someCookie"]

Your sample had a lower-cased "r" in "request.Cookies". Could that be your problem?

Yeah it worked. :)

Thanks a lot
