Question

I am working on a project for an IT class where I need to pass in a value on the query string in a php page and read it into a hidden field on an ASP page.

I currently am passing the parameter fine from the php page to ASP, but I am pretty new to .NET in general. How do I get the data out of the string and into a variable in C#? For example, if the url is blah.com/upload?username=washington, how would I get ‘washington’ and save it into a hidden field? Thanks a ton.

I knew it would be easy. Thanks a ton.

You can add a hidden field in your aspx file:

<asp:HiddenField ID='username' runat='server' /> 

And in your code behind populate it from the request parameter:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {     if (!IsPostBack)     {         username.Value = Request['username'];     } }
