Question

I am using .NET 4 at my side. While working with my project I noticed a weird issue with querystring. When I am trying to access the following url:

http://localhost:43173/section/pages?userid=1&username=aa

I am not able to get any of the query string parameters. But when I add the “/” slash after the “pages” in the above url

http://localhost:43173/section/pages?userid=1&username=aa

I am able to get querystring params. I am just trying to access the querystring via HttpContext.Current.Request["userid"]
Can you tell me why it is behaving so?

Probably because “pages” is a web folder. If you had something like

http://localhost:43173/section/pages/page1.aspx?userid=1&username=aa

it would work without the slash.
