HOW TO: Friendly Url

Does anyone have any quick snippet examples of how to add querystring keys/values to the friendly url and then in turn retrieve them?

Re: HOW TO: Friendly Url

Hi,

Not sure if this is what you're looking for...

Assuming you know the tab id then you can use something like:

Dim navURL as String = NavigateUrl(myTabId, "", "qs_parm1=qs_value1", "qs_parm2=qs_value2")

navURL is now a formatted URL complete with querystrings and it's formatted according to the host friendly url settings.

There are a bunch of overloads for the NavigateUrl() routine so browsing the source for examples may help as well.

Hope this helps!

Re: HOW TO: Friendly Url

Yes. I had already been to the source. However, I do not see any methods that allow you to easily extract the querystring values that we insert into the url. I just cannot imagine that such a method doesn't exist though. Do you have an example of retrieving querystring values?

You use the following code to retreive values from the querystring :

Request.Querystring("yourparameter")

This returns the value of the querystringparameter as a string

Re: HOW TO: Friendly Url

Hi,

Do you mean in the receiving module that's call with the friendly URL?

Isn't it Request.QueryString(varName) ?

I've not followed the code but think the URLRewrite module breaks down the URL and rebuilds the query string object. If you're trying to work with the RawUrl(), then the UrlRewriteModule.vb in the HttpModule.UrlRewrite is the place to research.

Hope this helps!
