authentication works..now i need to remember!

[jhermiz]

I'm a newbie to asp.net...

Just creating a simple login page...
I have the user name nand passwords stored in a database table.

On the web form I have the text boxes and a check box to "Remember my Password" so they get logged in without having to authenticate themselves.

How do I implement this "Remember Me" feature. I just want it so that when a user clicks this he / she doesnt have to type in a user name and password.

I know it has to do with cookies, but can anyone provide example code or steps on how to do this ?

Here is my authentication code:

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<%@ import Namespace="System.Data" %>
<%@ import Namespace="System.Data.SqlClient" %>
<script runat="server">
 
    Sub Page_Load
       Dim strLinkPath As String
    
       If Not IsPostBack Then
         strLinkPath = String.Format( "Register/Register.aspx?ReturnUrl={0}", _
           Request.Params( "ReturnUrl" ) )
         lnkRegister.NavigateUrl = String.Format( strLinkPath )
       End If
    End Sub
    
    Sub Button_Click( s As Object, e As EventArgs )
       If IsValid Then
         If DBAuthenticate( txtUsername.Text, txtPassword.Text ) > 0 Then
           FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage( txtUsername.Text, False )
         End If
       End If
    End Sub
    
    Function DBAuthenticate( strUsername As String, strPassword As String ) As Integer
       Dim conMyData As SqlConnection
       Dim cmdSelect As SqlCommand
       Dim parmReturnValue As SqlParameter
       Dim intResult As Integer
    
       conMyData = New SqlConnection( "Server=blah;UID=IMS;PWD=blah123;Database=blah" )
       cmdSelect = New SqlCommand( "DBAuthenticate", conMyData )
       cmdSelect.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
       parmReturnValue = cmdSelect.Parameters.Add( "RETURN_VALUE", SqlDbType.Int )
       parmReturnValue.Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue
       cmdSelect.Parameters.Add( "@username", strUsername )
       cmdSelect.Parameters.Add( "@password", strPassword )
       conMyData.Open()
         cmdSelect.ExecuteNonQuery()
         intResult = cmdSelect.Parameters( "RETURN_VALUE" ).Value
       conMyData.Close()
       If intResult < 0 Then
         If intResult = -1 Then
           lblMessage.Text = "Username Not Registered!"
         Else
           lblMessage.Text = "Invalid Password!"
         End If
       End If
       Return intResult
    End Function
 
</script>

And I can get that part (although even after authentication it does not redirect the user . Now how do I implement the "remember my password" feature??????
