I am a student who needs to create a "bookStore" application that
will keep the value of the book last viewed title in a cookie, so
that on return to the site main page a label will welcome the uer
with "Last time you last viewed" & cookie value
I have made small dummy "set cookie" and another "retrieve cookie"
ASPX pages that will not work, much less the larger "application"
What am I doing wrong? I am working with windows 200 pro, IIS, and
ASP.NET Web Matrix.

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<script runat="server">
Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)

Response.Cookies.Add(tedCookie)
Response.Cookies("test_bookname").Expires = Now.AddDays(1)
'Response.Cookies("test_bookname").Expires = Now.AddMonths(2)
Dim i As Integer
Dim output As String = ""
Dim aCookie As HttpCookie
For i = 0 to Request.Cookies.Count - 1
aCookie = Request.Cookies(i)
output &= "Cookie name = " & Server.HtmlEncode(aCookie.Name)
& "<br>"
output &= "Cookie value = " & Server.HtmlEncode(aCookie.Value)

Next
Label2.Text = "We should see at least an ASP.NET_SessionId cookie
value and cookie name."
Label1.Text = output
