how do I access request.cookies in controller of MVC pattern(asp.net)

Hi,

I am new to MVC pattern, trying to get Userid stored in cookies via common controller file, which I can access throughout the site.

I have FunctionsController as a controller with content as follows.

public static int loggedinUser() { return Convert.ToInt32( request.Cookies["userid"].Value); }

I am unable to request any cookies items even if I tried with

HttpRequestBase request = controllerContext.HttpContext.Request;

Please guide me. Thanks Anil

From stackoverflow

• I don't have a problem accessing cookies in ASP.NET MVC using a standard access statement such as:

  Request.Cookies["someCookie"]
  

  Your sample had a lower-cased "r" in "request.Cookies". Could that be your problem?

  ANIL MANE : it says An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'System.Web.Mvc.Controller.Request.get'

  ANIL MANE : using System;using System.Collections.Generic;using System.Linq;using ystem.Web;using System.Web.Mvc;using CRM.Models; namespace MarcelCRM.Controllers { public class FunctionsController : Controller { public static int loggedinUser() {return Convert.ToInt32(Request.Cookies["someCookie"]); }}}

• Yeah it worked. :)

  Thanks a lot
