How do you refer to the url?

[mr.mahon]

How on earth do you refer to the url with asp.net?In a url you will often see www.someplace.com/page/?id=17 in your code you can say, ok look at the url, and go to line 17 in database X.How do you do that?

YOu would do this to get the value of idC#

string ID = Request.Querystring["id"];

VB

Dim ID As StringID = Request.QueryString("id")

What you do with it after that is up to use. You could use it in a SQL statement like this.C#

string sql = "SELECT * FROM tableName WHERE idColumn = " + ID;

Hope this helps.
