Question

Code below is placed in page_Load. How I should handle this to bypass UrlReferrer when you enter page directly first time and there is no referrer?
What I am missing here?

    if (HttpContext.Current.Request.UrlReferrer.AbsoluteUri != null)
    {
        urlReferer = HttpContext.Current.Request.UrlReferrer.AbsoluteUri.ToString();
    }
    else
    {
        urlReferer = "";
    }

Answer 1

Why not this way much cleaner than checking nulls

private void Page_Load()
{
    if (!IsPostBack)
    {
        if (HttpContext.Current.Request.UrlReferrer != null)
        {
            urlReferer = HttpContext.Current.Request.UrlReferrer.AbsoluteUri.ToString();
        }
        else
        {
            urlReferer = "";
        }
    }
}
