Thanks to everyone who tried to help. :)

OK, the problem here was the .Domain = "http://www.xyz.com" if you are not http://www.xyz.com the cookie will not persist. The following code works great. No need to set the domain.

   Dim objCookieObject As HttpCookie, objCookieObject1 As HttpCookie
   objCookieObject = New HttpCookie(strName, strValue)
   objCookieObject.Expires = Now.AddMonths(1)
   Response.Cookies.Add(objCookieObject)
<pre>
>After executing the following why would I have no cookie present in the cookies folder?

>        Dim myUri As New Uri("http://www.xyz.com")
>        Dim request As HttpWebRequest = CType(WebRequest.Create(myUri), HttpWebRequest)
>        request.CookieContainer = New CookieContainer

>        Dim response As HttpWebResponse = CType(request.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)
>        Dim ckyXYZ As New Cookie
>        With ckyXYZ
>            .Comment = "This is a comment for our Cookie"
>            .Domain = "http://www.xyz.com"
>            .Expires = Now.AddMonths(1)
>            .Name = "Fred"
>            .Value = "My Cookies Value"
>        End With

>        response.Cookies.Add(ckyAT)
