querystring

[Mike]

I'm new to the asp.net world and on my app i have a querystring to pass data
to the update screen.
can querystrings still be used in asp.net or no?

Example:

response.redirect("update.aspx?Status=Edit")
or
response.redirect("update.aspx?Status=New")

how can i capture the Status and execute the correct query on my update.aspx
page?

thanks

Page_Load( ... )
{
if ( !Page.IsPostback )
{
string s = Request.QueryString["Status"]

if ( s == "Edit" )
//do edit stuff
else if ( s == "New" )
//do new stuff
}
}

Pretty much like classic ASP

If Request.QueryString("Status")="Edit

....that type of thing

Hi Mike,

Yes, as other members have mentioned, it's rather easier to handle
querystring in ASP.NET, just use the HttpRequest.QueryString collection,
here is the reference in MSDN:

#HttpRequest.QueryString Property

In addition, here are some other tech articles on migrating from asp to
asp.net
