Hi Takeshi,

Try this :

if (this.ChkRememberme != null && this.ChkRememberme.Checked == true)
    {
 int timeout = rememberMe ? 525600 : 30; // Timeout in minutes, 525600 = 365 days.
    var ticket = new FormsAuthenticationTicket(TxtUserName.Text, TxtPassword.Text);
    string encrypted = FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(ticket);
    var cookie = new HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName, encrypted);
    cookie.Expires = System.DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(timeout);
    cookie.HttpOnly = true; // cookie not available in javascript.
   
Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);
}
