I am trying to set a cookie on login, but the value never
seems to get set. After I validate user from XML file I
am trying to do the following:

HttpCookie MyCookie = new HttpCookie("LastVisit");
DateTime now = DateTime.Now;

FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(UserEmail.Value, true );
MyCookie.Value = now.ToString();
MyCookie.Expires = now.AddHours(1);
Response.Cookies.Add(MyCookie);
Response.Redirect( Request["ReturnURL"] );

Once I return back to the page that forced the login. The
Response.Cookies.Get("LastVisit").Value
is null and not existant in the persistant cookie file?

Can someone tell me how I would set additionatial cookie
values on successful login. I would like to set some
additional values based on the XML user file.

Thanks,
