Answer 1

i want to save username and password in client machine

If you set the password form type to "password" the client browser should do all the work for you here. When they log in it asks if they want to save these credentials for the web site.

*EDIT: If all you are looking to do is write a cookie using c#, the answer was only a quick google search away... http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa287547(v=vs.71).aspx

Cookies are for websites, not Windows forms. But ultimately, cookies are just files that are dropped on the client machine that can be read and updated as you require. In which case, you could just drop and read files using System.IO.StreamWriter and System.IO.StreamReader. Something like this:

var writer = new System.IO.StreamWriter("MyFilename.txt");
writer.WriteLine("some text here");
writer.Close();

And to read the file:

var reader = new System.IO.StreamReader("MyFilename.txt");
var fileContents = reader.ReadToEnd();
reader.Close()
