Request.QueryString as a String

Yes..you can save the querystring as a session veriable or as an arraylist afterrequesting it to your page.


Simply itterate throug each element of the querystring....concataning each element to a string value....

Once the loop is finished you should have one lone string.

Hope this helps...

I do not want a collection. Querystring isn't always a collection.

the querystring is not a collection of key/values. But it is a querystring. You can not iterate through that.

well if you just want the querystring as a string...just simply save it as a string....
You would due this by taking each param passed in the string...and saving them ..
then creating recombining the values as a string.


Is this what you mean?   Or do you want the entire url that is passed

As I said, sometimes the querystring has no params, but is just a string. Concatenating key/values for a querystring without "=" will result is a querystring with "=" in your solution.

Anyway, I have created a function to parse it from Request.Rawurl.

Public Function GetQueryString() As String
    GetQueryString = ""
    Dim sUrl As String = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.RawUrl
    Dim iQ As Integer = Instr(sUrl, "?")
    If iQ > 0 Then GetQueryString = Right(sUrl, Len(sUrl) - iQ)
End Function

Here are some examples...it really is dependent of whats being passed and the format you are passing it..in terms of me coding this for you..but the concept is the same..


check this out.

But to add to this: I was looking for a single asp.net built-in variable. It is not that I am unable to code a querystring together from the pieces that asp.net gives me, but I was wondering if asp.net has a single built-in solution. I could not find one, so I asked.

Apparently there is none.

this works:
Response.Write(Request.QueryString)


but this does not:
Dim sTest As String = Request.QueryString

dim sTest as String = <%=Request.QueryString %>

That just gives a syntax error.

check this while im looking at something else....still not what your looking for 100%...

I guess my question is...why would you want a function that does this?

Every scenario I have dealt with you always have to parse the collection...as that is kind of the point...

does your scenario need know parse...

if not maybe we can just cast the collection
