POasp.net problem with null cookie
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm having problems writing an If statement because it's asking for the value of a cookie, but it's possible that the cookie could be null which breaks the page.</p> <p>Here's the code:</p> <pre><code>If Request.Cookies("myCookie").Value = "1234" then 'do stuff End If </code></pre> <p>I think i need an elegant way of say "If myCookie is not null and has a value of..."</p> <p>Anyone got any thoughts?</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>OK, got it working but since there's a lot of if's and else if's going to be going on, I wonder whether there's a better way to do this...</p> <pre><code>If not Request.Cookies("myCookie") is nothing and Request.Cookies("myCookie").Value = "1234" then 'do this Else If not Request.Cookies("myCookie") is nothing and Request.Cookies("myCookie").Value = "5678" then 'do that Else 'do something else End If </code></pre> <p>OK... thanks for all the replies... not sure which is going to be the best approach but i'll try them all and accept the best as the answer.</p> <p>I am also going to add another level of complexity to the question:</p> <pre><code> If Not Request.Cookies("myCookie") is Nothing Then Select Case Request.Cookies("myCookie").Value Case "EZ12" theNumber = "0800 111 1111" Case "ER34" theNumber = "0800 333 3333" Case "RE32" theNumber = "0800 444 4444" Case Else theNumber = "0800 222 2222" End Select Else Select Case Request.Cookies("myCookie2").Value Case "EZ12" theNumber = "0800 111 1111" Case "ER34" theNumber = "0800 333 3333" Case "RE32" theNumber = "0800 444 4444" Case Else theNumber = "0800 222 2222" End Select End If </code></pre> <p>Basically the cases are always going to be the same but it will select the case from one of 2 places depending on whether myCookie has a value.</p> <p>Since there may be quite a few cases is there anyway I can get away with only listing them once.?</p>
