How to Implement Remember Me functionality using CheckBox ASP.Net(C#)

In this post I will explain how to implement Remember me functionality using check box.
When the Button btnLogin is clicked the following event handler is executed which first checks whether the chkRememberMe is checked. If it is checked then it save the UserName and Password in the Cookies and sets their expiration date to 30 days in future from the current date. And if it is not checked then it sets the expiration date to 1 day in past so that Cookie is destroyed.

Default.aspx

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    UserName:
    <asp:TextBox ID="txtUserName" runat="server"></asp:TextBox><br />
    Password:
    <asp:TextBox ID="txtPassword" TextMode="Password" runat="server"></asp:TextBox><br />
    Remember me:
    <asp:CheckBox ID="chkRememberMe" runat="server" /><br />
    <asp:Button ID="btnLogin" runat="server" Text="Login" OnClick="Login_Click" />
    </form>
</body>
</html>


Now in Page_Load event we will check if the Cookie exists and if yes then we will set the TextBoxes for UserName and Password with their respective Cookie value.

Default.aspx.cs

 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (!IsPostBack)
            {
                if (Request.Cookies["UserName"] != null && Request.Cookies["Password"] != null)
                {
                    txtUserName.Text = Request.Cookies["UserName"].Value;
                    txtPassword.Attributes["value"] = Request.Cookies["Password"].Value;
                }
            }
        }

        protected void Login_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (chkRememberMe.Checked)
            {
                Response.Cookies["UserName"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(30);
                Response.Cookies["Password"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(30);
            }
            else
            {
                Response.Cookies["UserName"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1);
                Response.Cookies["Password"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1);

            }
            Response.Cookies["UserName"].Value = txtUserName.Text.Trim();
            Response.Cookies["Password"].Value = txtPassword.Text.Trim();
        }

Generating serial numbers and keys in Asp.net(C#).

here we are using GUID for generate serial numbers and GUID is always unique. Example format: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX. Guid SerialKeyGuid = Guid.NewGuid(); string AccessKey = SerialKeyGuid.ToString("N"); string AccessKeyLength = AccessKey.Substring(0, 28).ToUpper(); char[] serialArray = AccessKeyLength.ToCharArray(); string SerialNumber = ""; int P = 0; for (int B = 0; B < 28; B++) {                 for (P = B; P < 4 + B; P++)                 {                     SerialNumber += serialArray[P];                 }                 if (P == 28)                 {                     break;                 }         ...

How to write Unit Tests in .net

Unit tests are automated tests that verify the behavior code like methods and functions. Writing unit tests is crucial to clean coding, as they help ensure your code works as intended and catches bugs early in the development process. I can share some tips for writing effective unit tests: Write tests for all public methods Every public method in your code should have a corresponding unit test. This helps ensure that your code behaves correctly and catches any unexpected behavior early. public class Calculator { public int Add(int a, int b) { return a + b; } } [TestClass] public class CalculatorTests { [TestMethod] public void Add_ShouldReturnCorrectSum() { // Arrange Calculator calculator = new Calculator(); int a = 1; int b = 2; // Act int result = calculator.Add(a, b); // Assert Assert.AreEqual(3, result); } } Test boundary conditions  Make sure to test boundary conditions, such a...
