| re: problem with UrlReferrer on first instance of home page
the referrer is the page that sent you to this page, so naturally, on the
first page, you don't have a referrer
to get around it,
dim Referrer as string
if Request.URLReferrer is Nothing then
Referrer = ""
else
Referrer = Request.URLReferrer.ToString()
end if
or the equivalent in C#
