Programming interface

Parameters

Specifes the name of the query string element

Remarks

As an alternative a developer can easily write out the content of a passed in query string (in this example MyQuerystring) with the following block of code. 

Response.Write(Server.HtmlEncode(Request.QueryString["MyQuerystring"])); 
Response.Write(Server.HtmlEncode(Request.QueryString("MyQuerystring")))

However there are some advantages with this component apposed to the code method:

  • Normal users which have no permission to write code can use it.
