Reading URL arguments passed via Hyperlink

Hugh O

Hi,
I am implementing an internet app via Visual Studio.Net 2003 using VB.Net.
There are numerous references within the Help facilities for using or
passing data between Internet pages via Hyperlink arguments or parameters.

example
http://www.something.com/exam.aspx?i...&source=hon999

However, I have not been able to find any documentation or help on how the
called page actually can retrieve or read those arguments or parameters. I
assume that it can be done in the pageload but what do you use to access the
calling URL or which command is used to read the arguments.

It would be great is someone could offer simple code examples. Maybe this
function is obvious to others, but it isn't to me. I just want to know what
arguments have been passed to the newly called page that I am loading.

Thanks,
hugh

Check out 'Request.QueryS tring'.

Hi,

You use the Request.QuerySt ring collection in the called page to access the
passed variables via URLs. In this case, for example:

Request.QuerySt ring("i") will return 387964908 as a string. Similarly,
Request.QuerySt ring ("rr") will return string y.

Hope this helps.

Siva and Herfried,
Thanks a lot. Just what I needed. VB.Net is a neat language when you know
the correct verbs.

Thanks again
