Just out of interest, why are you setting the Action of the form, especially to what would appear to be its default value anyway?

No it's not default. let me explain. when you using url rewriting <br />
like www.mydomain.com/movies/terminator3.html&nbsp;instead of<br />
www.mydomain.com/movies.aspx?movieid=231<br />
the postback returns to the<br />
original address, and by setting the postback to the raw url i can promise that the postback<br />
will be back to the new rewrited url

Hey, in my vs 2008 i am able to do:<br />
this.Page.Form.Action = Request.RawUrl;<br />
no error appears, and it's working.<br />
then ive got with my project to another computer<br />
at my office, and suddenly the ide says he can't find it:<br />
'System.Web.UI.HtmlControl<wbr />s.HtmlForm<wbr />' does not contain a definition for 'Action' and no extension method 'Action' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.UI.HtmlControl<wbr />s.HtmlForm<wbr />' could be found<br />
they both have asp.net 3.5 version, what can be the problem ?<br />

Changing the page form action
