Question

I have a string that contains ?action=a&current=b&something=c i want to create a variable that i can do val = mymap[‘current’]; Is there something in C# to parse this? or do i need to use a string.split and write my own func?

-edit- solved thanks to REA_ANDREW and Guy Starbuck (from the other thread).
