Delete browser cookie using C#.Net,Asp.Net



Introduction:
In my previous article I have explained about How to Add httpcookie using C#.net. In this article I am going to explain about how to delete the browser cookies using C#.Net code.
Explanation:
You cannot directly delete a cookie on a user's computer. However, you can direct the user's browser to delete the cookie by setting the cookie's expiration date to a past date. 

To assign a past expiration date on a cookie

1.      Determine whether the cookie exists, and if so, create a new cookie with the same name.
2.      Set the cookie's expiration date to a time in the past.
3.      Add the cookie to the Cookies collection object.

Below is the method  used to delete the cookie.
protected void DeleteCookie(string cookiename)
{
    if (Request.Cookies[cookiename] != null)
    {
        HttpCookie myCookie = new HttpCookie(cookiename);
        myCookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1d);
        Response.Cookies.Add(myCookie);
    }
}
Sample usage of the method is given below.
DeleteCookie("name");

Dynamically programmatically add contols at run time Asp.Net

Introduction: In my previous article I have explained about What is View State? How to Store and retrieve values from View State . In this article I am going to explain how to add controls programmatically on run time. Explanation: This example adds a text box and button to a Web Forms page at run time. It also dynamically binds an event handler to the button's   Click   event. The handler displays the values of the dynamically generated text box. The controls are added into a   Panel   Web server control, which acts as a placeholder. The controls are separated in the panel with line breaks (HTML <BR> elements), which are added to the panel using the   LiteralControl   control.

C# Extension Methods Example

In this article i am going to explain about Extension Methods  with example. Extension methods enable you to "add" methods to existing types without creating a new derived type, recompiling, or otherwise modifying the original type. Extension methods are a special kind of static method, but they are called as if they were instance methods on the extended type. For client code written in C# and Visual Basic, there is no apparent difference between calling an extension method and the methods that are actually defined in a type. If you do implement extension methods for a given type, remember the following points: An extension method will never be called if it has the same signature as a method defined in the type. Extension methods are brought into scope at the namespace level. For example, if you have multiple static classes that contain extension methods in a single namespace named Extensions, they will all be brought into scope by the using Extensions; directive. ...
