How to get path argument info?

[Rob R. Ainscough]

How can I extract the path argument info in ASP.NET (using VB.NET)?

Examples

my Main.aspx form is linked using "Main.aspx?CallFrom=MyApp"

I want to be able to extract the name/value pair "CallFrom=MyApp" from
within my Main.aspx?

Is this possible?

Thanks, Rob.

I think you want just Request.QueryString("CallFrom")...

But if you wanted the entire collection for some other reason, the
entire string is a NameValueCollection object, and you can loop through
it like you would a HashTable and get values based on keys.

Something like this (C#):
System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection objQS = new
System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection ();

objQS = Request.QueryString;

for (int ctr = 0; ctr < objQS.Count; ctr++)
{
Response.Write("key: " + objQS.GetKey(ctr).ToString() + "<br>");
Response.Write("value: " + objQS.Get(ctr).ToString() + "<br><br>");
}

Hope that helps.
