Why cannot the below code find cookie?

Question

Hi,
Please see the following code in the aspx.cs file:
public bool IsShow()
try
string strAppFloatCnt = string.Empty;
if (System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies["appFloatCnt"] != null)
strAppFloatCnt = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies["appFloatCnt"].Value;
int appFloatCnt = 0;
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(strAppFloatCnt))
appFloatCnt = Convert.ToInt32(strAppFloatCnt);
DateTime expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(60);
if (appFloatCnt < 5)
if (System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies["appFloatCnt"] == null)
HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie("appFloatCnt");
cookie.Value = (appFloatCnt + 1).ToString();
cookie.Expires = expires;
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);
else
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies["appFloatCnt"].Value = (appFloatCnt + 1).ToString();
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies["appFloatCnt"].Expires = expires;
return true;
else { return false; }
catch (System.Exception ex)
return false;
And then I called this method in the aspx file like the following way:
<input type="hidden" id="hiddenIsShowAppFloat" value="<%=IsShow()%>" />
Each time I refresh this page in Google Chrome, System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies["appFloatCnt"] always return NULL. Why?
Where should I edit the above code so that System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies["appFloatCnt"] can return the correct value instead of always NULL?
(I am using VS 2012. Operating system is Windows 7 Professional.)
Please help to sort out this problem. Thank you.
