Real quick: This is a reminder about a thing a lot of folks forget. I forget it all the time too so I'm putting it here in hopes that writing it will drill it into my head once and for all. "Page_Load code gets called twice by default" Copy this into a text file, rename the file with an ASPX extension, stick it in a VDir and run it.
<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<script language="vb" runat="server">
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles MyBase.Load
PrintCookies()
End Sub
Private sub PrintCookies()
Dim cookCol As New HttpCookieCollection()
cookCol = Request.Cookies
Dim s As String
For Each s In cookCol
response.write("Cookie: " & s & "<br><br>")
response.write("Value:" & Request.Cookies(s).Value & "<br><br>")
response.write("<br><br>")
Next
End sub
</script>
<html>
<body>
<h3>Just a test of writing</h3>

</html>Lookit that, you have two Session cookies :). Nope, it's the Page_Load firing twice and so your Response.Write (still the most used command in ASP/ASP.net development) happens twice. To stop that annoyance, either remove the MyBase.Load Handler (adding more work down the line if you code in the IDE ... not a problem if you mostly use Notepad) and/or just explicitly switch off the AutoEventWireup page directive (it's on by default). <%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false"%> Robert Smith
