If Querystring = Value, Redirect?

Hello,

I have a dynamically generated site, with a URL format like so:

www.site.com/index.aspx?Content=Horses
www.site.com/index.aspx?Content=Parrots
And so on...

What i would like to do, on page somewhere, is this:

if QueryString Content = Horses
then
301 permanent redirect to
www.newsite.com/animals.aspx?Content=Horses

Trouble is, not really knowing how to code in .NET , im stumped :(

Any help appreciated guys,

Regards,

Gary.

Assuming you will use VB.Net, in the Page_Onload event handler, do this:

If Request.QueryString("Content") = "Horses" then
Response.Redirect("www.newsite.com/animals.aspx?Content=Horses")
End if

Hi,

Will the Response.Redirect have the same effect as a 301 permanently moved?
Will it return a 301 value to search engines? (Which is the sole reason for
this task...)

No it won't. Response.Redirect simply redirects the browser to the
specified page.

Oh! My bad. I did not read closely enough. The answer is "no". See this

I'm missing something. How does that apply to this issue?

OK, think this has cracked it:
<%
If Request.QueryString("Content") = "horses" then
Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader("Location",http://www.newsite.com/content.aspx?Animal="&Request.QueryString("Content ")&")
End if
%>

Thanks for the help guys,

Gary.

Why access the querystring value twice? Do you think it's going to
change? ;-)
Why not simply say:
Response.AddHeader("Location","http://www.newsite.com/content.aspx?Anima
l=horses")
