Question

I am trying to change the Hyperlink CssClass depending on a filename of current page.
Something like this:

Protected Sub lnkAbout_Load(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles lnkAbout.Load

    Dim CURL As String = Request.Url.ToString

    If Me.lnkAbout.NavigateUrl = CURL Then
        Me.lnkAbout.CssClass = "AboutActive"
    End If

End Sub

I know this doesn’t work but I would appreciate if someone showed me the right way to do it. Thanks in advance.

You could use Path.GetFileName + Request.Url.AbsolutePath:

Dim pageName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(Request.Url.AbsolutePath)
If pageName = "About.aspx" Then
    Me.lnkAbout.CssClass = "AboutActive"
End If

(assuming that “About.aspx” is the name of the page you’re looking for)
