How to get a querystring with a web service?

[Bruce W..1]

My web service needs a value from the request querystring. So I do a
string topic = Request.QueryString["topic"];

But Visual Studio says "The type or namespace name 'Request' could not
be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"

I tried using some more libraries but no luck. Does a web service have
a hypertext context?

How can I grab the querystring?

Thanks for your help.

I should add that I'm trying to get the querystring from the URL to the
..asmx file.

Hi,

You don't use the QueryString in Web Services. Even though Web Services
appear similar to ASP.NET pages, thats not the way they work.

If there is a parameter for your Web Method, then the Web Service
infrastructure will pass it directly to you in your web method. You don't
need to explictly call it

Eg:
[WebMethod]
public void GetTitle(string Topic)
{
// work with the topic string
}
