Get the named anchor from the URL?

[Greg Collins [Microsoft MVP]]

In ASPX, how does one get the named anchor from a URL? Its not in any of the ServerVariables.

If a url is: http://www.somerandomsite.com/page.aspx#named_anchor

How do I get the value of the named anchor after the # character?

you don't as the browser does not send the named anchor to the server (it
strips it from the url)

I believe it's System.Uri.Fragment. So it you could get it from the
current page using:

string anchor = Request.Url.Fragment;

Ahh, yeah. Bruce is right here, it's a client-side thing. The Uri
class has the Fragment property, but you would need some other way of
getting hold of the full url.

uriAddress.Fragment retrieves the URL's anchor, if it exists.

I was wrong, too. Mea culpa.

Thanks. I'll check this out.

On a side note, it looks like the named anchor is maintained through a Server.Transfer (even in the case of a custom 404 error page) -- which is pretty cool!
